Holiday Blog Hop at Magnolia-licious

Hello.

Woo-hooooo.....we're having a Holiday Blog Hop at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.  Actually it's the Magnolia-licious and the Scor-Pal Design Teams coming together for this Blog Hop.  And this is both a Game and a Challenge.  What's more, there are HUGE prizes from Magnolia-licious to be won!!! 

So first, if you didn't come here from the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog, click HERE to hop over there and get the complete details of the Blog Hop and how to play along. Then you can come back here as I am the first one (yikes!) on the list of participants.

And so.  For my Blog Hop project, I have created this Advent Calendar. 

Here are some close-ups to showcase the Magnolia images I am featuring and also for you to get a closer look of the background scenery.

Magnolia stamps are available from Magnolia-licious, Diana's on-line store where she carries a large selection of both full-size and mini stamps.  And if you don't see the particular one you are looking for, ask Diana if she can bring it in for you.  Check out also the stamps from Wee Stamps, Wild Rose Studios, Penny Black and Candibeans, along with cutting dies from various companies and other crafting items.

What I have done with the little boxes is to put the dates in December before Christmas on one side and then on the other side I've placed some letters. 

 

 

So each day in December, you pull out the day's box, take the goodies out (yummy), turn it around and put it back in with the letter showing.  Oh, and eat the chocolate of course.  By December 25, you will have a holiday phrase--similar to what you're doing in this Blog Hop, except you don't have to unscramble it yourself...tee hee.

I made the numbers--printed, coloured, added glitter, cut out, etc.--but I was running out of time, so I bought some alphabet sticker sets at my local dollar store.  As you can see, I ran out the capital 'S'...arghh.
