Advent Calendar Window 12


Hello everyone, are you enjoying our Advent Calender? Elizabeth here, to show you what's behind window number 12.

Today's prize is one of my favourite embellishments from the  LLC store. Pink is one of my favorite colors, and these fabulous Vintage Pearl brads from Creative Charms come in both pink and white. The go perfectly with flowers or shabby seam binding on any vintage project!


Today's prize is a set of 9 Pink Vintage Pearl brads in two different sizes


You know the drill by now: all you have to do to join in for a chance to win is:

1) Become a follower of this blog if you're not already
2) Post our Advent Blinkie in your Blog Sidebar. The html code can be found here.
3) Leave a comment on the blog post with your thoughts on the project.

Here's my project of the day, it's a Christmas Calendar for my daughter, using the beautiful brads.


I used Pion Design papers from the Silent Night 6 x 6 Collection, I used Angel's Choir, Guardian Angels and Nativity Scene. The pearls are from Melissa Frances.
The stamps are from Magnolia, and I colored them with distress ink pads and markers.  
I used two different Magnolia doohickeys: Snowflake and Spruce (tree) 


The lid comes off, and the box is filled with one little tag for every day we're
 counting down for Christmas 1-24. 
I used the Pink Vintage Pearl brad, the Ash Rose Shabby Seam binding, The pink Rhinestone Lace, the Snowflake trim, a Bells charm and some dies to decorate it. 

The trees- Spruce- and some of the edges are decorated with Snow Text.

Today's little tag: December 12th!
The snowflakes are covered with Diamond Dust to make them sparkle.

Enjoy the season!
Hugs 
Elizabeth
