Welcome to the last of the Cricut Circle Christmas in July Blog Hops. This weekend anything goes. How fun! If you've hopped over from Donna's blog http://carolinascreativecropper.blogspot.com/ then you are right on track. If you'd like to start at the beginning please visit Paulette's blog http://scrapalette.blogspot.com/ so you don't miss a thing.
Okay, I've created an advent flip calendar so my kiddos can countdown the days until Christmas :-) I kept the design pretty simple and to keep the pages from becoming too bulky I didn't use any pop dots. That was a challenge...LOL! Enjoy :-)
I used a mix of matte, foils, and glitter papers. Love how it turned out :-)
