Peek-A-Boo Frame Die and 25 and Counting Stamp Set- Advent Calendar

Well, you can never start too early on Christmas, I guess!  I am not ready to start thinking about Christmas BUT . . . .Trish, a good friend and customer, wanted to recreate the advent calendar in the Holiday Mini Catalog.  Have you seen the new Peek-A-Boo frame die cut?  There are so many new cards rolling around in my head for this one!  Anyway.... Mom, Trish and I embarked on a few fun days of creating this precious Christmas Calendar with the 25 and Counting Stamp Set!  Talk about a workout for your brain!  Remember the Highlight magazines when you were a kid where you had two pictures to compare and figure out what 8 things were different from one picture to the next?  This was sort of like that, we looked at a the mini catalog and tried to figure out "How did they do that?"  Well, we laughed so hard, and had a lot of fun and I think we came pretty close.  They all came out gorgeous!  Wanna see it?

 
 Here is a close up of some of the squares - the new Holly Berry paper is just so cute!  We used the Letters to Santa from the Idea Book as well.  The stamps are adorable - they could be used for the Kiddie Bingo cards as well. 

 

I definitely recommend finding the center and start with the middle row going up and down and across so that your calendar will be centered.   That was fun!

Class info -

There are still a few seats in both of the Wednesday, September 28th card class - see last post for info about that.  The 1 o'clock class was moved to 2 o'clock by request.    The 6:30 class has openings too!

Scrapbook Class

There will be a scrapbook class on Oct 12th at 6:30 PM.   Here is a preview of one corner of the layout:

 

The technique will be the cute flip book I learned at Scrapfest.  Cost will be $15.  I will have the kit pre-cut so we can spend time inking, cutting and glueing!  Can you to RSVP by Oct 7th if you intend to come so I can have enough kits cut?

Thanks for stopping by!  Gotta get going if I am going to have some ink time!

Lots of Luv,

Lori

Great job Lori. I don't have young kids in my life but you might have me thinking about the die and using it for cards. Sometimes you just have to look outside of the box!
