[Easy downloads] Free Advent Calendar -- Days 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 inside!

Published 5 months ago • 2 min read

Hey friend!
​
One of you said in an email, "the tech be 'tech'n" about the forever glitchy Advent Calendar page -- and I had to laugh (so I don't cry) because it's so true! This year has been one for the BOOKS for this Advent calendar (and it rivals the one where my entire house got flooded in the middle of December!) because of these tech issues -- including my ENTIRE website crashing this morning!
​
I don't want to jinx it, but I THINK things are working now. . . but just in case it's not, I wanted to send out the last few freebies for you to download directly -- no need to mess around with the Advent page if it's not loading right with you! Check below for those links!

​
​The All Access Vault- An Update!

​
I'm also having a sale on the All Access Vault for the duration of the Advent Calendar! Check it out if you want access to everything I've ever made (and will make! Yep! future access too!) for one low price! (use code ADVENT2025) Thank you to those who have purchased the Vault already -- it's purchases like this-- as well as other items from my shop-- that make the free advent calendar possible, especially with all of the tech issues!
​
​AND --Just in case you missed it - - In the spirit of Advent surprises… I added a little bonus gift: the next 5 4 3 new Vault members get to be a Guest Art Director for my next kit. Think: your dream color palette → turned into a real product.
​ Claim one of the spots before they are all gone! Hit reply if you have questions about this or want more info about a payment plan!
​
​Another note about the Vault: After December 25th, the All Access Vault will be closing again, because I've got some FUN new exclusive things I'm cooking up for Vault members! Get in before Christmas so you don't miss out!

Now! Onto those freebies!​

Scrappy love,
Allie

Hey Reader, Have you ever heard people refer to May as "MAYCEMBER" because there's just as much going on in MAY as there is in DECEMBER? I'm not going to lie, I feel that! With all of the "end of the school year" stuff happening, at the same time as summer planning... it's a lot! But I'm trying to find time to craft and scrapbook... as well as finish up bulletin boards and paint things for the PTO and end of the year "festival" at the school! I hope you've been finding time to get creative...

Hey Reader, I hate to open a newsletter talking about the weather, but holy cow, we've had the weirdest spring weather lately here in Ohio -- hot to cold, back to hot, back to cold... my sinuses and my plants have no idea what to do! But aching sinuses aside, I wanted to drop in your inbox and share some updates today... and you might notice a new format I'm trying out, inspired by some of the magazines I've been flipping through as I'm cleaning them out of my craft room... (The great spring...
