The Advent of Christmas: Day 1

Advent Calendars have been increasing in popularity over the last few years, and we thought it would be fun if all the Muses contributed jointly to a fun project of our own this year!  Based on Guest Designer Greta Smithson's wonderful boxes, we think it would be wonderful to suspend the boxes from a tree or garland to decorate your home!  The PDF pattern & instructions for Greta's boxes is can be downloaded by clicking: Download Cube Boxes

We'll be posting one each day, and hope these little treasures spark your creativity as we all enjoy the wonder and festivities of the season, in anticipation of the Christmas Holiday!

Day 1, by Katie

I thought it was pretty keen that she used a decorative edge blade to trim her paper pieces for this!

Wow exciting to see a new one everyday. I've been wanting to do a advent, maybe this year I will get to it. This first one is just to cute and love the edges and the colors.

Fabulous! Great job Katie. Looking forward to seeing all of them... is there any candy inside?

[Katie]

Mine actually has a little glass ball ornament inside (instead of candy.) And I filled the ornament with curled up pieces of A Muse ribbon - so pretty!

[Katie]

EEK! I just noticed it's missing a Twinkle Sticker! Must have fallen off in transit :)

[Dana Klinkner]

So cute - love the idea! Can we see the ornament inside? What's it look like with the Amuse ribbon in it - can we see a pic of it, please, please? :) Ok, I'll be extra nice, pretty please with sugar on top. :)
