hello holidays

The November Cocoa Daisy kit was full of cute holiday themed products. It was so fun to make these projects:  

First I made an interactive advent layout. I will leave it out as decor for the month of December and add a little something under the flap each day. When I am done, it will slide into a sheet protector in my album.

Here is a process video on how to make one:

Here is a layout featuring a recent visit to the family cabin. 

I made a some frayed cards and tags. I used regular scissors and just cut lots of slits. 

For this one, I used one of my kids' pokemon card holders to make 9 pockets. Those gold stars made the cutest shaker pocket.

Handmade holiday day 2: Twelve days of Christmas/ advent sacks. 

Gather your paper packages and string, and all sorts of other little goodies to add to these simple bags. Fill them with treats and give them away, or re -use them each year with your kids. Here's what I used: pom pons, tinsel, lace, painted polka dots, doilies, washi tape, tassels, etc...

This is our valentine making station. Each one of us has a valentine box, so we needed a little valentine making area. Its been really fun.

These are the cutest valentines! They are a 12x12 sheet from Pebbles. I used these for my valentine layout in my PL project, as well as to attach to gifts.

My boys LOVED their little valentine bags from us. Each of these cards fit each boy so perfectly.

I made this Valentine advent calendar from muslin bags from Michaels. All I had to do was add the number stickers, fill with surprises, and hang them up with clothes pins and bakers twine.  My kids have loved it. Here is Greyson, checking his "vowentine."
