Christmas in October...

Why not right!?

Here's an advent calendar I created for my local craft store. I'll be teaching a class at the beginning of November using this advent box by KaiserCraft. I wanted so badly to try this last year but never got around to it. I paired with Graphic 45's Christmas Past collection and kept the feel very vintage - in accordance with these amazing papers.

This was such a fun project to create but QUITE time consuming. Not difficult but remember, there are 24 boxes that have to be 'decorated' . I created some 'faux' stitching by using my paper piercer and then going over with a journaling pen.

The ornaments were created with the leftover papers I had - these are SUPER quick and easy - upcoming tutorial I think????

Thanks for popping by (again) today - a demain!
