Countdown to Christmas Frame

We're making this at my Gifts Class this Saturday!  

Isn't it adorable?  I wish I had a family photo inside it, but I haven't found all of my photos yet.  

Here are the details:

• The frame is our Decor Accents Chunky Frame 12 X 12".  You can purchase it on the clearance rack here for just $7.99!!!
• The background is the Frostwood Lodge designer series paper.  
• The numbers are either die-cuts from the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet dies or from the '25 & Counting' stamp set on page 37 in the Holiday mini catalog. 
• I used the Peekaboo Frames Bigz L Die to cut out some of the pieces. 
• There are quite a few punches used too - squares, circles and scallops
• Can you see the Stitched Felt pieces?  There are four of these on here - you get 4 of each shape in a package from the Holiday Mini catalog.
•   

I only have one spot left on the 10th at either 9:30 am or 1 pm. Let me know if you want it!  Cost is $20 for the class.

We are also making these Coaster Calendars too:

The other side holds post-it notes.  

I chose many types of patterned paper to fit the taste of my friends and family.

And you can turn them on end to get this look:

This one could also be a pencil holder and has room for both post-it notes and a photo on the sides.  Did you see the magnet on the bottom for paper clips?

Details:

• To make these just cover your coasters with patterned paper - I prefer a glue stick for this.  Smooth the corners or edges with a sanding block.  
• Punch 2 holes on each side and tie a knot of ribbon to hold them together. 
• Cut out a scallop square from the Scallop Squares Duo die and trim off an inch or so in the middle to get two strips to place behind the calendar.  
• Cut out a magnet using the Peekaboo die
• Glue all of the elements onto your coaster triangle and you're done!    

These only cost $6.00 each and you can choose from many designes of my patterned paper. Class times are either 4 pm or 6 pm to make these.

Let me know if you want a spot!
