Days til Christmas

These Christmas count down blocks are officially my first project with my NEW CRICUT! Yes no longer will you hear me complain about tracing letters from my computer screen.  I have finally joined the 21st century.

Now on to business.

This project started out with a pile of this…

Pretty much everything from Michaels except the little dollar store fence.

I sprayed everything with a burgundy spray paint.  The KILZ comes in a little later.

I added some pretty scrapbook paper with modge podge and distressed the edges a little when completely dry.

I aged the dried blocks with some Valspar Antique glaze.

The numbers and letters on the sign were cut with the Cricut.  The KILZ was used to add a little snow to the fence.

I think it turned out quite lovely !

Thanks for dropping by
