Advent calendar

I thought this year I would make my own advent calendar so I begin with the massive task of making lots matchbox shaped boxes which as you can see I got a bit carried away and made 26 instead of 24! Never mind all the more chocolate to eat, yum yum! I used papers from my minds eye 12x12 pack which I bought last year and is going on forever cos it's HUGE. Added brads and a bit of ribbon, I used some die cut numbers and then stuck the layers together. I hope you like it, my husband was not too impressed but will eat the chocs I bet.
This is perfect for Creative Inspirations challenge this week which is 'Christmas Decorations'

Also look who decided they wanted to be involved in the photo shoot this morning as usual, she is sooo nosey! Mind you she probably thought she should get some credit for making the calendar because she was sat on my craft desk whilst I made it.

Christmas gift bag

This gift bag is for this weeks challenge at Creative Inspirations I bought these paper bags to make scrapbooks with but haven't got round to that just yet, maybe one day? I've used the new downloaded papers from Pink petticoat with a mat of mirror board. I cut some nesties to put my image on which is a Gorguss girl coloured with copics. More dies to cut the tags and the snowflakes. Finished with lots of lovely ribbons. Sorry about the light on the photo it was beginning to get dark and it's created loads of shadows.
