Fancy Pants Frosted Collection

Just popping on with a quick hello and to let you in on some new goodies that have arrived at our Home over the past week.  We hope that everyone is enjoying Aphra's  12 Days of Christmas Countdown, she's up to page five, so be on the lookout for more tomorrow from her.  Onto what's new...just in Fancy Pants Frosted Collection.  Take a peek below for some sample ideas to get you feeling creative.

It's a Wrap

Day Five of the Christmas Countdown Calendar says Wrap Presents.  Ha!  Gotta buy them first, hun?

I wish wrapping presents were as easy as this little page.  Be back tomorrow with Day 6!

Four, Four

shut the Door!  Because it's cold outside.  No worries because Day Four of my 12 Days Countdown Calendar says "Enjoy Cold Weather."  And we certainly are.  We've pulled out our comfy sweaters, played in the yard, chased the dog, and settled down in front of the fire for a nice evening.  Mmmm....nice time of year!

Another pretty simple page, hun?  You really don't have to do much when you start with such great supplies.  I added in some Bo Bunny Dotted Swiss cardstock...it really goes well with this line.  And more buttons and bling, of course!

Stay warm!

On the Third Day of Christmas,

my true love gave to me . . . hats, scarves, and mittens for three.  Good thing, too!  We woke up to inches of snow here yesterday.  Inches . . . in Louisiana.  We put on every manner of scarf, hat, glove, and boot we could find.  Glorious!

I love how simple and fun this page is.  I trimmed up a tag, decorated some chipboard, dug up a felt Thicker, and that was it.

Stay tuned for Day Four!

On the Second Day of Christmas . . .

we trim the tree!  And Cosmo Cricket has chipboard for that.  All the paper and embellishments in this line coordinate so well together.  Cute, cute!

 
Well, I've got lights to string and ornaments to hang.  Be back tomorrow with Day 3.

Let's Start Counting

As promised, here's the first page of my Cosmo Cricket Jolly By Golly 12 Days of Christmas Countdown Calendar. Since the patterned paper for this page features holly leaves and berry, I decided to make a little embellishment to match. I just love the three overlapping buttons. Glue dots are wonderful, hun?

My kids really get into the Christmas spirit once we go visit Santa, so that is my first day's activity.  For this part of my page I used a tag, a leftover Thicker, and my words typed onto cardstock and edged in red Versa Magic Chalk. 

Be back tomorrow with Day 2!

Share a Holiday Tradition...

In the spirit of giving we're trying something a little new for us...as I posted earlier we have a new page on FaceBook and we need your help.  Hop on over to our new page by clicking on Right at Home over on the right hand side of our Blog (top of green column), this will bring you over to FaceBook where you can become of a fan of Right at Home...easy right? 

Here comes the gift giving part...share one of your favorite holiday traditions and you'll be entered into a prize drawing for some scrapbook goodness (prize shown on our FaceBook page).  At our home one of our favorite traditions is our Advent Calendar....during each day of the month in December I tuck a little note inside the pocket of the day.  The notes are sometimes a clue of a little gift I have for the girls, or a fun event we're planning for the night, a movie, playing a game, etc...this little tradition makes the days of December go by quite quickly and we have some fun along the way too!  Okay your turn...

Become a Fan...

We have some fun things to share with you over the next day or so...first we have a page on FaceBook, the link is in the right hand column of our blog.  Click on Right at Home and you'll be brought over to become a Fan.  We will be running a little prize patrol over there to get the word out that we're on FaceBook, so make sure to pop on over and you just may win.

You should also notice we have something planned for you in January...after the holidays are over and you need some time for yourself (and us, and a few dozen scrapbook buddies) then we have the cure.  Details will be posted soon.

Twelve Days of Christmas Countdown Calendar

To help my boys pass the time until Santa arrives, I made this cute little countdown calendar.  Each page includes a fun family Christmas activity--visiting Santa, trimming the tree, drinking hot chocolate, etc. 

 

Stay tuned as I'll be bringing you a new page each day. Gather your supplies and you can count down, too. All you need is Cosmo Cricket's Jolly By Golly paper pack and the coordinating chipboard sheet, some buttons and bling from your stash, and an assortment of Thickers. All available in the Right at Home store.

See you tomorrow!
