Advents are here!!

So it is advent time of the year...I'm so excited and have been very busy getting this ready for Taeya, Paige, Elizabeth & Megan.  So excited I wanted to post this a week ago but did not want to ruin the 'theme' surprise.

With the girls getting older I found it very hard to find useful and interesting trinkets for their advents...so I decided to create a new kind of advent!!!..........  The Scrapbook Advent Challenge!!

All of the girls love crafts and pictures!  So I thought what better then to have them each create 20 pages (they are only 6X6) throughout December.  On December 25th they will all bring their scrapbooks to dinner to see how different they all look!

Tomorrow they will open gift one, which contains:  1 6X6 scrapbook, 1 large pkg of printed 6X6 papers, an envelope filled of pictures of themselves, a glue stick, picture corners, letter stickers and the following letter.....

I know it is small here...but it reads...

OK Ladies, so here is the deal!!  This year I wanted to create a 'healthy' Christmas challenge.  I know how much you all love pictures and crafts....so we are putting it all together in to one fun advent challenge.  10 of your advent days, you will open up your 'tool kit'.  It will contain enough material for two fun and funky 6X6 pages....that is the size of the book you have just opened.  The goal is to create all 20 pages in this book by Christmas Day...to which you will then bring it to dinner to share with everyone and have the chance to win a prize!   I have provided you each with an envelope of pictures where the subject, is of course, YOU!!!!   Some days you will get a day off....so remember to stay on track and make sure you get it completed!!!
Don't Worry there is still fun gifts on most days too!!   Have Fun, Be Creative!!!  I can't wait to see your creations!!!!   XOXOXO

Their Tool Kits

The envelopes that all 4 girls will open on the same days will have the same, papers, punches, brads, etc....they must use part of every element in their envelope....but here is the thing girl... You have to be creative, use as little or as much of your envelope contents, think outside the box, pair it with other craft elements from around the house!!!  Make your book unique and stand out!!!



So I will post a few more fun days I have created as we get to them....I'm really looking forward to Dec 9th & Dec 10th!!!  I will also post the girls books when they are all done!

These are Taeya and Paige's advents set out to see in the morning ;-))

...I forgot to take pics of Elizabeth's and Megan's...so JP could you take a pic for me and email it over to add to this post, if they are out and under the tree ;-))
