Happy Friday to you! Nothing better than an MDS Blog Hop to start your day! The current Holiday Catalogue is FULL of some amazing downloads and of course each Tuesday Stampin’ Up! does an amazing job of creating some great new downloads for us as well! I’m still waiting on my Holiday Catalogue disks to come, so I decided to share with you a new holiday download called 12 Days of Christmas! It is ADORABLE!
The swatchbook comes with BEAUTIFUL Designer Series Paper as well as fun and fantastic embellishments. I love the template that comes with this and have already sent my books off for printing! I know, it’s August! BUT, here’s why:
31% off ALL print items in August (how fun is that!?!?!)
So, you’re probably wondering why I’m printing Christmas swatchbooks, right? Well, I thought they would be fun (instead of, or maybe with) Christmas cards this year for our immediate family. It’s an “activity” book for the families to do together and complete over the month of December and then of course at the end will have a sweet memory! On each page, I created a punch with a photo dimension on it so when they take a photo of a family activity, they can print them and attach them to the book! I’m going to also send along a Sharpie marker to journal in the book. I hope they have as much fun completing their books as I did making them!
I have been having a ton of fun getting ready for my next MDS online class! It will be a 30 class full of videos, fun and ideas! The class will begin on August 20th, and each day you’ll get a project, supply list and video! Of course the class runs at your own pace and will be open for six months after! (plenty of time to start making up some fun festive projects!!!)

Have a wonderful blog hop and I hope you enjoy today’s video!
where the print stripes were in 2 colors, is there a way to change *both* colors...say "red & brown" from the original 2 colors, instead on the 1 that you've shown in the video? thanks for your reply as I appreciate this very much.
Hi Heather!
I love this idea! I am thinking that I will make something like this to send to my nephew with his advent calendar and new Christmas tree ornament this year. :) I may also make one for my sister and her fiance, as it's their first year in their new house. Thanks for sharing!!
