Christmas Countdown Series #7 of 12 – Advent Calendar

I’m so excited!  Week 7 – just over half way through my Countdown to Christmas series and it’s time to think about making an Advent Calendar!  This year, I’ve used the Santa’s bags.  I’ve worked out how I can transfer the lettering onto the bag by using the Stamparatus and a silicone mat to execute […]
