Challenge #7- 3D Holiday Project

Hi there!  It's time for another challenge over at Cut It Up!  The challenge is to create a 3D holiday project.  It can be any holiday but remember to use a die cut!  For my project I made Countdown to Christmas wooden blocks!  I painted the bottom two blocks and sanded the edges.  I then adhered Christmas paper to the front with Mod Podge.  For the top block, I painted the front with chalkboard paint!  The letters were cut out from the A Child's Year Cricut Cartridge using vinyl.  I am also entering this into a few challenges.  I hope to see you link up your project at Cut It Up!  Thanks for looking and have a great day!  :)

Challenges Entered:

• D.L.ART Thankful Thursday Challenge- December Holidays
• My Paper Crafting Challenge #114- Holiday With Red and Green

Here is a picture of our front yard after Hurricane Sandy.  Luckily, the tree landed in our yard and not on our house!  The tree was 45 feet tall.  We also lost power for about 24 hours. :(

Here is a picture of my son and daughter on Halloween.  My son, Jason, was a zombie doctor (he was much scarier with his mask on!).  And my daughter, Brooke, was a zombie waitress.  Thanks for looking and have a great day!  :)
