It took me longer than I thought it would, and I only got this completely finished today, but the kids have been watching me every step of the way. I love how it turned out!
I've been waiting to make up this Kaisercraft Advent Calendar, and I was so excited when I got the Imaginisce Cottage Christmas range. I knew it would be perfect for it! I love how the papers are the traditional red and green, but with touches of blue, orange and pink too. It's one of my favourite Christmas ranges ever!!
I had originally planned to have those 3 accordian flower "decorations" hanging from the top, but they wouldn't sit right, so I just stuck them down. Probably less likely to break from too much kid handling that way anyway!
See the brads I made with the I-top, for the "decoration" centres? I love that Rudolph one...
For the other two, I used my I-Rock to bling it up a little bit...
**Now, how would you like to win a great prize?? How does the ENTIRE Imaginisce Christmas Cottage collection sound? If you think that sounds pretty great, then make sure you pop over to the Imaginisce Blog, to find out how YOU could win! **
Hope you have a great week!
