Gina's Designs DT Project: Happy Holiday Shadowbox

Today I have a happy holidays shadowbox for you today. I apologize for posting this after Christmas, but it was a gift!

  This element piece was made with one of Gina's doilies and a punchelement 1 inch scalloped.

 This was a Christmas pick that I took apart. I added one of Gina's snowflakes to the front of the house.

The number was custom made for me by Gina. I added metal brads on the side. It is attached to the shadowbox with pop dots.

You can see the three different techniques I used on the ornaments. After they were painted I used bling on the first, a rubber stamp on the second, and one of Gina's snowflakes that I glittered on the third.

The "Happy Holidays" was cut from one of the DCWV paper stacks I used.

I hope you have a great end to 2014! Thanks again for stopping by my blog.

Gina's Designs DT Project - Multi-Purpose Advent Calendar

I know it's "Christmas in July", but I was in the process of moving most of that month so I decided to do a few "Christmas in August" projects. Today I have an advent calendar for you made from the 24 Drawer Storage Unit.  What is nice about making one like this is that you can use it over and over and you decide what kind of goodies to put into the drawers!

Now I know some of you are thinking yes, they are great for the first 24 days of Christmas, but then it's just another thing you have to store! 

Well, if you make it that way, but what I did was paper the other side of the drawer into something I can use everyday. Yes, I will have to find a temporary home for the everyday items when it 

is time to use the advent calendar but I love the idea of being able

to use items vs having a bunch of things in storage.

I  covered the one end of the drawer with my everyday use paper and attached metal drawer pulls.

The other side of the drawer has the advent calendar. I just pull out the drawer and turn it around.

 I did leave the top and sides uncovered to show the beautiful wood. You are able to decorate the top with different Christmas items.

I hope this gives you another idea on how to use Gina's great products!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
