Hi Friends,
Here begins the advent calendar.
I used 15 sheets of American card stock paper and 11 sheets or more of DCWV the homemade Christmas stack. I probably 4oz. or more of glue. Each door is filled with goodies. I had hoped to ship it out before the first but my elf started playing with it, so it may be late. Hope may even want me to keep it here.
This is picture heavy, because I want you to see all the work that went into this. I worked on it for five days, not 8 hours a day of course, but quite a few hours. I am so amazed that you can do this with paper. and I just love how easy Mary makes it at SVGCUTS.com
That look tells me she is up to something.
That is it, she is peeking in day one. Wonder what is in there?

I decided to have an elf LINKY party. If you are playing elf on a shelf or you have an elf,
1.Please link up your elf's antics below. Must be this year
2.Only link up one elf antic per day- they must be (GP).
3. For each link up leave a comment saying what your elf is doing
4. Link up both your elf post (not your blog) and mine so others can play and comment. Posts not linked will be deleted
I would just love to see what everyone does with their elf. There will be an elf-ie surprise at the end for 3 lucky people.
The linky will run until December 24 11:55 PST
Have a blessed day, Diana

Here is the inside of the doors for 13-22
She was actually playing with my stamps, when I was not looking. She really is a sweet heart because she was helping me out. Looks like she may have fallen asleep
That look tells me she is up to something.
That is it, she is peeking in day one. Wonder what is in there?

Fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Diana! I don't know the first thing about Advent Calendars (I'm Jewish) but this is just gorgeous. I am sure that whatever purpose they serve, yours will be a delightful gift! What is the significance of the elf? It is very cute! I know earlier he was sitting by an ornament! Your paper and glue were put to great use because the craftsmanship here is wonderful! Thanks for sharing this with us here at 613 Avenue Create!

What a stunning project. I saw it on MIM and came over to have a closer look. Your advent village looks fabulous, really worth the work.
ReplyDeleteGreat project.
ReplyDeleteFor fun, I've linked up my "real life" elf sneaking a cookie from Santa. This is my great niece and we haven't started the Elf tradition yet. I wish this was around when my son was little.....this is such a fun thing to do for the countdown to Christmas.
What a lovely project! Thanks for the fun challenge.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Diana! This is extraordinary! What a lovely project and so beautifully crafted. (And the pictures could not be more delightful!) What a joy this is to see tonight. I think of you often and am sending you the sparkliest hugs imaginable tonight!
