Dec. 27th - Relaxing...

Today, meet Santa relaxing after the madness of these last weeks... As you can see he chose a far away tropical destination for his vacation!

Aujourd'hui, on retrouve le Père Noël sur son lieu de vacances en train de se relaxer après la folie de ces dernières semaines ! Notez la destination lointaine... Il a bien raison !

Advent calendar - Dec 24th

Up on the housetop, reindeer pause
Out jumps good ol' Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones, Christmas joys
Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick
 C'est la belle nuit de Noel
La neige etend son manteau blanc
Et les yeux leves vers le ciel
A genoux, les petits enfants
Avant de fermer les paupieres
Font une derniere priere.

Petit papa Noel
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Avec des jouets par milliers
N'oublie pas mon petit soulier.
Mais avant de partir
Il faudra bien te couvrir
Dehors tu vas avoir si froid
C'est un peu a cause de moi.

Advent calendar - Part 1

A few posts back, I showed you a work-in-progress... I've scanned each page of this advent calendar before I bind it so here they are. They all use Dustin Pike digi stamps as main images + some other stamps I used to make some of the backgrounds.
They are the size of a coaster (9 x 9 cm) that I will use to make the covers. I tried to tell a little story from Dec 1st to Dec 31st... yes this an advent calendar "with a twist" because it goes until the end of the month!

Here we go!

On December 1st, it's about time to mail our Christmas list to Santa...

... who is waiting for it at the North Pole...


His little helpers start receiving big bags full of mails...

... while in town some are choosing their tree...

Santa's elves are checking if we've been naughty or nice...

... while in town the house starts being decorated...

First thing: the star on top of the tree...




... meanwhile Santa's helpers are preparing Rudolph's sleigh...

...an elf is painting candy canes...

...Rudolph is ready!

...although in town the tree is not totally ready yet...

...not ready at all! Some little mice are getting into mischief under the tree!

Luckily there is a reliable guardian waiting outside in the cold winter...

... while some others are having fun in the tree in the warmth of the house!

A quick shot to remember this moment?



The fireplace is decorated too...

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without holly!




At the North Pole, the toys are packed up...

Gingerbread and candy cane, what else?? ;-)

The Carolers are in the streets... Christmas 's approaching!!


To be continued... tomorrow and every day until December 31st!

J'avais en tête de faire un calendrier de l'avent sur le meme principe que le calendrier perpétuel que j'ai fait il y a quelques temps. C'est fait ! Voici les 20 premiers jours avant de les relier avec my Bind-it-all. J'ai essayé de raconter une petite histoire chronologique avec les digi stamps de Dustin Pike et quelques tampons Hero Arts, Stampendous et Artélio pour les fonds. A suivre jusqu'à Noel et peut-être même jusqu'au 31 décembre !
