I was given this clear box by a friend of mine and I knew I would be able to use it one day. I decided to use it and make a little gift for her.
I dug into my scraps of white cardstock and Mistletoe Magic and create a fun little Advent calendar. I cut scraps of white cardstock and pattern paper to 2 1/4 X 2 1/4" then just went to work layering bits and pieces of paper, stickers, chipboard, brads and twine to create the fronts.
I used some of the Washi Tape to decorate little mini clothes pins.
I stamped little definitions/activities on the white cardstock using the Advent Stamp set from Unity. The idea is to turn over one card a day and either just think about the quote or do the activity.
I will give this to my friend just before December 1st. I hope she likes it, and I wonder if she will remember giving me the clear container!
I am playing along with the Friends With Flair over at Unity.
