IAR "Tis the Season" Blog Hop

Hi Everyone!

WELCOME! to the I Am Roses “Tis the Season” Blog Hop. We have so much holiday inspiration coming to you from our Designers. You should be coming from Joy Nieva's blog. I'm excited to be part of this hop and here's my Christmas projects I created this year.

I decided to create two 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendars for my daughters Maddy and Ashley. I've been have a blast creating different projects with the We R Memory Envelope Punch Board.The drawers I created were just perfect for the calenders and both my girls just get a kick out of pulling the drawers. I plan to fill them will little goodies for them. Of course Maddy's will be filled with Legos and Ashley's will be filled with scrapbooking goodies.


Here's Maddy's 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar I created for her. The paper collection I used was Heidi Swapp's Believe Collection. I'm so in love with this collection. I'm really loving the color black that she incorporated in the design papers. On top of the Advent Calendar I added a lot of gorgeous I Am Roses flowers. I first layered a gorgeous lace from Lavish Laces and fussy cut some images from the design papers. I also die cut some beautiful pine branches from my Diemond Dies die. All the beautiful flowers I layered are listed below.

Big White Gardenia GB5-15
Red Roses R77-79
Christmas Mixed Lily Flowers LY1-79
Mixed Big Red & White Christmas Poinsettia CF1-78
Christmas Mixed Flowers R21-79
Small White Flower R19-79
Small Mixed Christmas Paper flowers S10-79


Here's Ashley's 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar created with DCWV's Christmas Made Stack. I thought It would be fun to create the drawers into a shape of a Christmas Tree. I added a large red satin bow that I created with Zutter's Bow-it-All from Blitsy. On the center of the bow, I added the gorgeous Red Roses R77-79 and below I added my new favorite Christmas Mixed Lily Flowers LY1-79.
