Hi there!
I hope you are well?
I'm here to show you the Advent Calendar I finished a couple of weeks ago, but only just realised I haven't blogged it!
This was quite a mission I have to say, but I did enjoy making it, even if it did take almost a week!
I got the instructions from Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine. I love it, as does my son, especially now that it is filled with 'Squinkies' (don't ask lol!)
I used freebie papers (Snowed In by My Mind's Eye), also from CM&P, and lots of white card, and some brads from my stash....that's about it really! Oh and some glitter and gems.
Challenges
Oh, a funny little story about this 'magic box'...when I was assembling it, Keiran kept putting things into the drawers and I kept turning it to add new drawers, when he wasn't looking. Then he would look in the drawers and his things had disappeared! Then I would turn it back and they would return! He was convinced it was actually magic and it didn't occur to him that the box had turned! He even commented that not only had his things disappeared, but the handles had changed lol! Bless him! I haven't told him...he still thinks it's magic!
Glad I've got this blogged...gonna email CM&P now see if they want it for their magazine! :)
Oh wow, wonderful Advent Calender. Thank you for sharing your work with all of us at Crafty Boots Challenges.
