Each Garden Girl is sharing a project with you as well as a giveaway!  I was trying to come up with something and I kept going back to an already made project.  This project was made last year and was my first ever featured project of the day at Two Peas.

It is still by far one of my very favorite projects that I have ever made.  I am in love with making things out of Maya Road Bottlecaps.  So I think what I am going to do next is make an advent calender.  I can't decide what line I want to use for it so here is your challenge and my giveaway.  Leave me a comment telling me which line (old or new doesn't matter) you would use and why.  I will be giving away a Two Peas Gift Card to a randomly drawn winner on Nov 8th.  You have until Nov 7th at 8 p.m. EST to leave a comment.  Please use your correct email when leaving a comment as that is how your gift card will come.

I still love Teresa Collin's Noel collection. It would make a cute advent calendar!

[Lisa Risser]

Darling project! Another vote for Crate--love that line!

[Cyndie Reynolds]

25 Days of Christmas by Simple Stories is my vote..Can't wait to see what you use and how you but your project together.. Cyn

[Amber L.]

An old Daisy D's Christmas line I can not remember what it is called but from 2005 I believe, it is my all time favorite Christmas line and would make a lovely advent calendar.

[berta]

I love almost any Christmas paper! JBS Christmas would be cute in the mini papers in an advent calendar, but I also love Echo Parks Holly Jolly!

[Rachel]

Why not use up something old and traditional like the Daisy d's christmas. I love traditional, victorian type Christmas decorations,

[ShawnaW]

Cute project! I would wait and use the October Afternoon christmas line coming out. It looks fantastic!

[Gina]

Another vote here for Echo Park Jolly Holly, Seasons Greetings is quite nice too!

[ruth]

i like the simple stories collection.

[Tracey]

stunning project. Not used bottle caps before for a project think I may have to have a go one day.

I would use Echo Parks Winter Park as I love the colours or Bella Blvd Christmas Wishes Collection but I'm already using that for my Daily December lol.

[VanessaMeryl]

Blog hops! Man, I haven't commented on our blog in a while! Miss you! Scrap soon?! Happy November!

[Linda]

I really like your project, what a great idea :) I am new to all of this and I wouldnt know whether or not to go with old or new ...soooo seeing as how i am a traditionalist... i would pick something old or something that looks like it is from the past :)

[Gina]

My vote goes for Graphic 45's Christmas Emporium

[Amanda J]

I love this...I remember its the project that I found your blog from! :) I have a few different Christmas lines that I really like...I like Crate Paper, but I am going for more of a fun cutesy look for my December Daily, so I would also so MME or Echo Park Holly Jolly.

[Trisha Noland]

Great project! I would vote for Bella Blvd or Doodlebug Designs.
Trish

[Sheila Scraps (Madrid)]

What an original project! thank you for share it.

[Joan Fowler]

I like vintage so anything 7gypsies or Jenni Bowlin would be my choice for an advent calendar.

[cindy Eaton]

You can never go wrong with basic grey or doodlebug. I will be watching for advent calendar updates. cindyann49

[Anne Gaal]

Hi, Jenny! I think I would use the Basic Grey Picadilly line. I love the color palette and how cheerful these papers are! Plus, you can get a 6x6 paper pad, which would give you lots of different patterns at an economical price for an Advent calendar!

[ann]

Every year i always turn to my Making Memories papers for Christmas layouts. It's their clean classic lines that I love using for my holidays!

[Margie Visnick]

My favorite Christmas line ever-Basic Grey's Fruitcake! I just loved the colors& patterns!

[katy young]

Your project is beautiful! What a great job you did! I like the Snow Kissed Christmas pack by Betsy Tuma. It looks fun a cheerful for a Christmas project. fossilconnection@yahoo.com

[Jeannie]

Very cute.
I would use the Basic Grey Picadilly as it could be used year round and it is so cheerful looking.

[Katie]

Ohhh, so many gorgeous lines to choose from. I love the bright colors of the Jolly Holly line too, so I would have to go with that!

[Midori Vasquez]

I loved We R Memory Keeper's christmas line from 2 years ago, and I also love crate paper's peppermint line. A bottlecap advent calendar would be really nice!

So sweet your bottlecaps projects...I will try it!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!

[JoeScrapper]

[deb]

my mind's eye 12 days of christmas, for it's bright non-traditional colors.

[Julie Weidner]

Love what you did with the bottlecaps. I have lots of KI Memories paper and embellishments so I think I would use that line.

[rebecca]

How about one of the Reminisce lines? That paper is thinner and maybe more pliable/easier to use in a project like that?

[Lillian Child]

I am a huge fan of Webster's Pages, and their holiday designs are amazing!

Teresa Collins Noel collection

[Lisa aka Myran]

I'm in love with the Nordic Holliday collection from Basic Grey. So pretty!!

[Gabrielle]

Definitely Echo Park's Jolly Holly line as many have mentioned already. It's adorable and the colors are awesome!

[ShellyJ]

what a cute project! I think I would use SC Memoir collection... just love that turquiose!

[Jan Cleveland]

Why not try the Simple Stories line for your Advent project?

[Susan]

I really like the new Peppermint Twist line by We R Memory Keepers Inc. It reminds me of my childhood for some reason. It's kind of simple but classic.

[Diane]

I would use the old KI Memories Christmas collection from years ago, with the fuchias and lime greens. It's my all time favorite Christmas line. I bought a ton of it. I've used it a lot, and I will use it again! Can't wait to see your advent calendar.

[dallena]

Bo Bunny's Father Christmas or Simple Stories 25 days of Christmas. I would love to do this in Bo Bunny's Snowfall line for January too!

[Ezlie Perez]

maybe crate paper random collection...or any authentique line. =)

[amysheaniles@yahoo.com]

Crate Paper's Peppermint Collection! Love it!

[Cynthia Larson]

Hey I never knew what to do with those bottle caps?!? thanks for the awesome idea

[Cynthia Larson]

I would love to see the Peppermint Collection from Crate Paper used

[Ellen Porter]

I have used a couple of Basic Grey's Christmas collections over the years, an would probably mix up what I have left of that with a new one.

[rt in ga]

Echo Park Merry Christmas (or any of EP papers - I <3 EP)

[Erin]

Great use of the bottlecaps! Love it!

[HooliE]

Creative use of the bottle caps. If I was to make one (which I am going to totally scraplift this idea :)) I would go with the echo park for the new, or chatterbox for the old since most of their prints were small enough to really show on a bottle cap.

Thanks for the inspiration

[Kelli W]

Any of the Echo Park lines would look great (or a combination, along with the dots and stripes one). I can't wait to see what it looks like since I've been thinking of making one myself :)

[Jennifer C.]

I like your project. I think for an advent calendar I would use My Minds Eye 12 days of Christmas. I like the fun prints and colors.

Jen- mytwoandras@yahoo.com

[Carolyn S.]

I can see why this project is your absolute favorite. It is just incredibly stunning and beautiful. I LOVE the colors you used.

[Scrappychic77]

I would use the MME Lost and Found christmas line since its a classic line, otherwise they have a fun more cute line as well! Very cute project and good luck with the advent project

[Karen S.]

I like the Lilly Bee Designs Christmas paper - check out the Jingle Collection kit. I think it would be perfect for your advent calendar! Thanks for the chance to win!

[Tina Hicks]

I think EP Holly Jolly would be perfct for an advent calendar! Cute project!
Thanks for the chance to win and for sharing!

[Aphra]

LOVE the idea of doing this again for an advent wreath. Can't WAIT to see! Oh my . . . only one line? I'd have to mix up some Doodlebug, Jillibean, and Pebbles. :)

[Jill T.]

There are so many great lines, but I think I would start with Echo Park Jolly Holly.

[Trisha]

I would use all my left over christmas papers from all lines previously used. I would buy new to use for upcoming Christmas, my favorite line is October Afternoon.
