LAST DAY and LAST CHANCE for Early Bird Price!
Woohoo!!! It's FINALLY my turn to share my FREE TUTORIAL and to offer BLOG CANDY here on my blog! What is it? Leave a comment on my blog today and get entered into a drawing for a FREE subscription to Create with Connie and Mary Holiday Edition 2012. Already signed up? No problem…we'll apply it towards the Occasions 2013 Edition. But…don't delay…today is the LAST DAY and your LAST CHANCE to take advantage of the Early Bird Price of $24.95 US…a savings of $5 off the regular $29.95 US price! And…for over 30 step-by-step photo tutorials, that is less than $1 each! Our website stays up a year after the session is over, so you can refer back to them 24/7! Only subscribers see our projects…no previews are posted to the public. Sign up today!
So, my FREE TUTORIAL project uses Scentsational Seasons. When I saw it, I thought it would be a great set to use for a Christmas Activity project. I love the idea of doing an activity during the countdown to Christmas…although this doesn't have to be every day…just something when you have a little time to pull out and do. Or…be organized and preschedule them! Anyway…here's my project!
I hope you can see how REALLY, REALLY cute this project is. And…not hard to make! I kept the steps pretty simple. With my FREE TUTORIAL, I've provided a print out of 14 popular activities…and there are a couple extra blank ones to write your own activities. I've used the Window Frame Collection Framelits for both the activity cards AND the lid on the box. The lid tucks behind the smaller medallion and Vintage Brad on the front to hold it closed. And…here is the back…it shows you a closeup of what the tags look like, too!
Fun, fun, fun!!! So…how about a recap of what you need to do?
- Leave a fun comment on my blog today to be entered into the drawing for BLOG CANDY…a free subscription to Create with Connie and Mary (winners announced on Sunday, Sept 2!)

I love, love, love the acivity box and the activity cards!!! Can't wait to make them! Thank you so much for sharing!
Whhat fun! Love that you can use the ribbon to hang them up! I think the little gingerbread guy is just the cutest. I think I would have too many activities with him involved, make gingerbread treats, eat the treats, eat the treats until gone then make more! With the new scented EP I could just imagin the wonderful scent when you pulled out the card! Yum! Thanks for a great project….off to download the tutorial.
GREAT project. Love it! Thanks so much for sharing and I can't wait for the Holiday Edition to begin!
