11 Christmas Cards and 1 baby

Hi!!! I wanted to share with you all some Christmas cards that I whipped out. I have a bunch of un-made projects from a shoe box swap that my group did a convention.  So, I challenged my self to use those precut card packets to create Christmas cards, as I needed a few more handstamped cards to send.  Side note: I got some free photo Christmas cards with my photo shoot I had done of my beautiful girls.  The photographer who did the pictures is Gina, you have to check out her website!  She came to my house and the girls were so relaxed, the pictures we got were totally amazing.  I had 87 GOOD pictures to choose from.  It was great!  Anyway, I wanted to share with you the 11 cards I seriously whipped out.  It took very little time working with precut paper.  I did substitute some paper here and there and added some embellishments here and there that were not in the packets.  So, enjoy, and some of you have been wanting pictures of the baby, there is a recent one at the end of this post.

   

 

       

 

Here is Hannah! She has been such a blessing to us!  She is four months old now,  we are getting settled into a routine and Mommy is handling things with more ease now.  So I hope to be posting more in the New Year. 

Happy Holidays!

How Many Days till Christmas?

  LOOK WHAT I MADE!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I had LOTS of help.  My friend Britiney, her husband made the frames and number squares for her and I to make these fun Advent Calendars we saw at Convention! 

The center piece is a Vinyl Home Decore piece, Christmas Countdown.  It comes with all the numbers you need to make a fun advent calendar. 

The boxes are covered with Ski Slope and Holiday Treasures DSP, mostly, I did use a few pieces from other assorted DSP packs, that were Real Red and Old Olive. The ribbon is Wide Grosgrain in Real Red, Old Olive and Very Vanilla.  They are attached to the top of the box with a Pop Up Glue Dot.  All the boxes are attached to the frame with Velcro.  So, you can easily take them off and retrieve your goody.  I am so excited to have made something that will become a part of my girls holiday tradition. 

I am SUPER thankful to Britiney and Mike for all the hard work on the frame!  THANKS!!!  It is super nice! 

Now, I am looking for just the right size box to alter to hold all my numbers.  Of course it will match my calendar. 

Happy Stampin'
