In the 2nd Advent window

Hope everyone is ready for the next song line

In the 2nd advent window

My calender gave to me
Sparkling little stars die

This is so much fun. With this die I decided to make a reminder. One of my stamp sets has a wonderful sentiment that seemed almost to perfect for this die.

 For anyone who can't see it very well (apologies for photo) it says:

"Only in the darkness

can you see the stars"

It is a quote from Martin Luther King Jr, I think it is a wonderful sentiment we should all remember.

Unfortunately I was unable to capture the sparkle of the glitter on the stars. 

I put double-sided tape on some white card and then sprinkled iridescent ultra-fine glittler onto it. 

I then attached this to the back of the black card.

Using foam pads I mounted it on to the blue background.

There is a ribbon attached to the back, so it can be hung up.

See you tomorrow

In the 1st Avdent Window

I have not had the best start in the run up to christmas season BUT that is going to change. I will not let the season of cheer and goodwill be ruined by chaos. How am I going to do this?!?!? Very simple

My Special Advent Song

No, no, no, don't panic. I'm not actually going to sing, I want a white xmas not a wet one 😉

No, you have to put the tune for the "Twelve Days of Christmas" to my lyrics, ok? So....

In the 1st advent window

My calender gave to me

A cute Rudolf reindeer die

I don't think I have ever been so excited to open an advent calender. I have of course whizzed up a quick make for this adorable die

A Rudolf button, very quick and simple and only a few items needed.

 Brown, red and white card. Cute advent die, small circle die/punch, black fineliner pen and a foam pad. Die-cutting machine of your choice.
(Optional - leaf/follage stamp for background)

If a slightly larger circle was used then it could easily be turned into a name badge or table nameplate.

I hope you have enjoyed todays quick advent make, and I hope you will sing along with me until christmas.

I am also entering my little creation into the following challenges:
           Brown Sugar Challenge - Anything But a Card 
           Creatilicious Challenges  - Anything goes with optional flourish
          AAA Cards: CAS game 104

I am looking forward to the morning..."In the 2nd advent window............."

See you tomorrow

Hugs and happy thoughts
