Welcome to the UStamp with Dawn and Friends!! Up On The Roof Top 2001 World Showcase Holiday Blog Hop.
If you have been following the Blog Hop from the beginning, you have just been wowed by Tara Bilbao's mantle decor. What fun way to decorate for the Holidays!
If you are just joining the Blog Hop, no problem, as you can start at any point. All the Designer's Blogs are linked together so you will be able to see ALL the FABULOUS projects we have for you.
My project is a Countdown to Santa. I had spotted something similar on Pinterest and couldn't wait to try it out with our punches and Big Shot dies. If you've got little ones, this is a great way for them to count down the days to Santa's arrival.
I used the On Board chipboard sheets to create a base for the Countdown. As an afterthought, I adhered one of our magnet sheets to the back and it now looks great on our refrigerator.
My daughter is already having fun adding to Santa's beard. Just use regular cotton balls and glue to add to the beard each day.
As a Special Thank You for stopping by my blog I am giving away BLOG CANDY!!
