12 Days of Christmas

I absolutely LOVE the 12 days of Christmas. As some of you may have seen my pix from last Christmas, you would’ve seen this:-

One year, prior to having my Cricut, I happened to stumble upon an awesome website, http://pie.midco.net/grammalowe/12days.html which had directions and templates for creating a really cute gift set of the 12 days of Christmas. I couldn’t wait to make this for my hubby, who is really hard to buy for. He absolutely loved it, so wanted to share it w/ those who don’t own an electronic cutter.

The twelve days in the song are the twelve days starting Christmas Day, or in some traditions, the day after Christmas (December 26th -- Boxing Day) or you can start it any day you like. I’m sure your friends/family wouldn’t mind when you gave them this set.

I couldn’t seem to find the pic of the set I made (pre digital camera), so I attached the pic that was on the website. I improvised w/ some of the items, adding my own touch. You can do whatever you like --- it’s just an example of what you can do/use. :-)

Now, if you do own an electronic cutter such as the Cricut, there’s an adorable cartridge called: Joys of the Season, which has the 12 days of Christmas designs. Here’s a sampling of what’s on the cart:-

You could easily integrate these designs w/ the templates available on the website.

I’d love to see what you create!! :-)
