Countdown To Christmas Calendar

Merry Christmas to my Online Friends!!

I hope that everyone is getting to the point where they can slow things down and enjoy the holiday.

I created this Countdown to Christmas Calendar to give to my mother for Christmas (since when she last visited, she asked if it was for her...lol).  Of course it is for her :0)

I used Gecko Galz, and Graphic Fairy images.  I also used some goodies from my Pro 31 Designs DT kit.  The base piece is by Kaiserkraft.

Here are some photos

Here is the front, and below is the back

 If you would like to see some close ups and all the products I used with links, just visit my video below.

I have also found a beautiful song that I would love to share with you.  Some of you may know that I have worked with special needs children, and a friend of a friend has written the most beautiful song for her DD who has special needs.  You can purchase her song (she has a Christmas CD as well) from itunes.  The proceeds will go toward her therapy.
Hugs!!
Merry Christmas!

Vintage Victorian Christmas Ornament Tutorial

Hello Friends!!

Today I would like to share with you a

I have a tutorial below.  So you can create something similar with your own post cards, or with images and collages you create 

Hope it inspires you to create something for yourself...or as a gift!
