I’m back! What a great kit I am showcasing today in this weeks Craft and Chat video replay. I’ve been wanted to make myself a reusable advent calender for a few years, and finally we have one. Its so much fun to put together and can hold a good amount of chocolate too! Great for a treat for yourself or a fun gift.

I also show the Christmas Everywhere kit too, fun cards with all kinds of festive foliage!

Here are all the Stampin’ Up! items I used in the video. Click on the pictures to go shopping in my online store.

I should be back to my normal schedule now. My plans include a few more blog posts in the lead up to Christmas to make sure you have lots of creative inspiration for your cards and gift packaging.

I have a very busy weekend planned, if the weather co-operates…….. the garden needs a winter ready tidy up and the christmas cake needs baking.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, I’ll be back soon.
