25 Days of Christmas MemoryDex Spinner

I was happy to attend the annual Doodlebug Crop n Shop event this year. It was held twice this year and the theme was Christmas. Hosted by Suzi West and Treasured Memories at the Doodlebug warehouse.  My trip was August 9-11.  It was three wonderful magical days. The highlight of the projects made was this 25 Days of Christmas Memory Dex Spinner created by Treasured Memories Christine and Kelly Ann.  Here is the link to their site here and Facebook link here. This is a kit (which includes the Heidi Swap Memory Dex spinner) and can still be purchased from the store.  The detailed pictorial instructions are very easy to follow.  Everything is pre-cut and pre-bagged in a glassine bag along with all the embellishments numbered by date. So organized: a true dream craft assembly.  All papers used supplied by Treasured Memories.  Embellishments and most papers used are from Doodlebug. Here's the completed project:
These four Memory Dex cards were the Make and Take from Treasured Memories.  We all got our Instax photo taken for one of the cards. Lots of foam squares used throughout to pop embellishments.  Lots of Clear Stickles used, too
 Day 1 to Day 5: Enamel dots used throughout are included in the kit are made by Doodlebug. Day 3 card has plastic holiday lights (attached using Nuevo Adhesive).

 Day 6 to 10: Day 6 has a mini red bow.  Love the white tulle wrapped around Day 10
 Day 11 to Day 15: Love the Doodlebug Clip on Day 14 - so special!  The swinging metal bell on Day 15 is adhered using a mini glue dot.
 Day 16 to Day 20: special mini clip on Day 17. On Day 18, a row of glitter string attached with mini glue dots.  Day 19 has a mini bow.  See the toothpick flag on Day 20?
 Day 21 to Day 25:  Day 21 has a red metal jingle bell. On Day 22 a gold ribbon adds a festive feel to the card. Day 24 has a red/white straw at the bottom of the card.
Included were these additional card separators which add a festive look. These are great for journaling or photos.
This project was so much fun to complete. So many fun details on each card - it is very inspirational and i can't wait to put daily notes in this spinner.  Be sure to call or write to Christine for your very own kit.  Thank you for stopping  by today to visit. have a crafty day.
