Anway, I made an advent book. Here you can see an inside page. I did get the numbers backward and I thank my sister-in-law for pointing that out so now this page has the 16 days until Christmas label. I got the idea from Heather Scott's blog and Julie Griffith's blog and, I must say, it turned out great (other than having the circle tags backward). This was also rather time-consuming as each red page was cut out by hand. Heather had a PDF file of the verses so that was really a great help.
I used Merry Wishes SWIC (which is retired), Hillary Embellishment Jar, Trendy Greetings set, Christmas Check List set, L'Amore & Noir PH inks, white scrapper's floss, lots of red cardstock, white cardstock, binder rings (or whatever they're called), the Extra Jumbo Circle Punch (1 1/2"), and red sheer ribbon. Again, mom wanted it but I was not ready to give this up. Maybe I'll make some more but I will have to purchase a bunch of red cardstock. I think it took about 5 sheets to do the individual pages. The whole thing was created out of a covered Starbucks coffee sleeve! Can you recognize the shape??
It's cold tonight here south of Tucson, AZ. We had quite a frost last night and another for tonight. Check my Livin' Hot blog for a great picture of Mount Hopkins yesterday!
