Advent Calendar

I have a real treat for you today! Linda Auclair designed a stunning advent calendar using my Season’s Greetings collection that I designed for Echo Park Paper. You can download a handy instruction sheet that Linda put together right HERE. December is just a couple of days away… so if you’re planning to make an advent calendar… you still have some time.

This is the completed tree.

This is the wooden base that Linda found at a craft store.


Hopefully this inspires you to create something FUN today! Be sure to download the instructions HERE. I’d like to thank Linda for sharing this fabulous project with us. Please let Linda know how lovely her project is by leaving a comment for her below! Have a great day!

SVG Gingerbread House & Fall Wreath

Today I have a  real treat for you. Two of my amazing design team members have completed some absolutely FANTASTIC projects for you to take a look at. I am so excited to show these to you!

The first project is by Carolyn King… it’s the cutest little gingerbread house ever! She’s used my gingerbread house file found HERE.  She also used patterned paper from two different Echo Park collections to make the house: Season’s Greetings and Holly Jolly. The tree, gingerbread man and candy canes and candy are some of the embellishments that come with the gingerbread house file. To read more details about Carolyn’s project, visit her post.

The second project that I have for you today is by Corri Garza. She’s put together the cutest autumn mantle decor using some of my SVG files. For her wreath, Corri used a foam wreath as a base from a craft store. And, she used my SVG leaf files available HERE. For her banner she used my nested frame set SVG files HERE. Visit Corri’s post to read more of the details about her beautiful wreath and banner projects.

Feel free to let Corri and Carolyn know what you think of their super awesome projects! Have a great Monday!
