More Advent Calendars

So today was the first crafting session making my Advent Calendar... and I am absolutely delighted with everyone's Calendars... so I have to share.... though I apologise for the photo quality...taken mid-class in a rush!

My 4 ladies had all decided to make the version with the Home For Christmas papers... and they had the whole pack to choose from... so they all picked the holly papers - and either the newspaper or candy stripe... our only surprise being that only the black showed up on the holly papers!

Though I have to laugh as they all rejected the vanilla ribbon I had bought  - and use my retired ribbons stash instead... no such choice for the next session... all gone!

We will be making Advent Calendars next on Wed 25th Nov... but any day can be booked for you and group of friends... half day session required (2 1/2 hours)... or combined with other projects to make a full day session if you prefer...

Firstly Karen's...

Secondly Nicola's...

Thirdly Heidi's... which was hiding when I took the group photo! Oops...

And lastly Denise's...

Aren't they all fab!

2015 Advent Calendar

Been wanting to make an advent calendar for a few years... but everyone always wanted more cards instead! 

But this year is my year! Finally we get to make an Advent Calendar...

So out came a pack of Tiny Treat Boxes and a couple of retired Stampin' Up! stamps ( 25 Days and 25 & Counting) that were purchased in order to make calendars in previous years - and I got to work...

And this is the result - one clean & simple style embossed calendar ready to fill with treats... I have a plan to fill mine with gin... 24 different ones the target... anyone with me!!?? Gin-vent Calendar here I come...

And I LOVE it! Can't wait to share... In fact I am making a few more as pre-Christmas presents... as I know a few more people that will love it! With or without the gin....

Love it too? Why not arrange a group of friends and come here to The Craft Spa in Great Ouseburn (half way between Harrogate & York) and make your own... Just contact me for more details and to arrange a date... half day session...£20 a head for 4 people... which includes ribbon (but no gin!!)

Kraft card not your thing? No problem - can be made with Home For Christmas papers instead... only £5 more for the papers...

Into Kraft but not into black!? No problem... I have a host of coloured embossing powders for you to use! Here is one in Pool Party... Great match in my kitchen!

And here are some more - made by my ladies...really fabulous...in fact ( shhhh!) I have a new favourite...
