Gingerbread House Advent Calendar with Scrapbook Supplies

Who doesn’t love a good Holiday Advent Calendar? It’s such a fun way to count down to the holidays during the month of December. There’s lots of calendars you can buy but since we’re crafters why not make your own? Doodlebug has recently released their House Advent Calendar that you can decorate with your paper crafting supplies. Customize the cute house with pattern papers, stamps, dies and more. There’s a shelf section under the roof for adding 3D elements and drawers you can fill for each day.

Kathy had the marvelous idea of created her calendar as a Gingerbread house with cute little gingerbread men and women. I love how she also created faux windows and doors from arches of pattern papers and check out the cute scalloped roof with a mini 3D paper house in the attic.

Learn all about this adorable project over on the Doodlebug blog.

I was a teen in the 80’s so this totally rad Boombox shaped mini album from Traci really speaks to me! She created a rectangle shaped black acrylic album with rounded corners, adding buttons and a handle on the top with a cover decorated to look like a real boombox with speakers, a tape deck, buttons and more. She used the Totally 80’s collection of products from Simple Stories that has lots of bright pink and teal colors with cool 80’s inspired patterns like black and white check and colorful graphics. There’s also load of fun embellishments like a Walkman, high top sneakers, retro TV, camera, hair spray can and more.

I had huge hair in the 80’s and am embarrassed to admit how much Aquanet hair spray I used!

Traci has included her totally tubular signature flaps and pockets in the album too for some radical interactive elements too.
