Hello everyone and welcome to the Advent Calendar Blog Hop! Please start the hop HERE at Angelica's blog (Hand Made by Angelica), if you just arrived from Janie's Blog (The Typical Scrapbooker) then you are in the right spot! So I'm sure by now you have seen some amazing ideas for advent calendars! We have a very talented group of ladies and it's so great of Ruthie to put this whole thing together!
Well I've never ever made an advent calendar before, so I was a little bit challenged at first coming up with ideas. And I have to admit I did procrastinate and didn't finish mine until a day ago! lol..I hope you like it, I think it ended up coming out very very cute! There are lots of little details so you can click on the pics to get some close ups! ;)
I found this green magnetic dry erase board at Michaels for 5 bucks, and it worked out so perfectly! It's 14x14 inches..I cut a 10x10 piece of cardstock and layered it with 2x2 inch squares for each day. I made 4 magnets with my itop to hold the calendar to the board. Each day has it's own unique embellishment and number ((those are EAD rub-ons)).
For the title I wanted it really glittery and used the MS coarse glitter.
I think it went on a Peachy Keen overload..but that's ok..I love my PKS! ;-)
I also made those acrylic blocks using Tim Holtz fragment pieces. Just use glossy glaze to glue down to pattern paper and trim around! Super easy!
I'm so proud of my little gingie's.. I colored in with my Prisma colored pencils.
Those are from the new PK release -Too Sweet to Eat-.
The hubs liked the "fat reindeer" lol... :P
I love the lil' snowman..he's just chillin'!
Another cute gingie boy!
And the last day is ..BABY JESUS!
What Christmas is all about! ;)
Yay! you made it through all my pictures! lol..
Well I really hope you likey my calendar, it was a lot of work and long nights (well, one long night!).
I have some blog candy for you all!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 223 of 223 Newer› Newest»WOW Joanna!!!! This is just amazing!!!! You give everything so much dimension and pair everything *just* right. I don't even know which one is my favorite because I absolutely adore them all - the nativity scene, the mitten, and you did a great job coloring in your TSTE ginger girl, too!! You've inspired me to create one like this - I especially love the "collage" feel of it. SO stinkin' cute!
Super job! This is so cute, Joanna! I love all the Peachy Keen faces. Awesome!
I LOVE your calendar and all the faces on it. It is too cute!!!

Come on let me have it please! =)
Your calendar is just so cute! I love all the detail you put into it. I noticed you misnumbered two squares. I love that you left it the way it was. It looks like the little present is laughing about it. I think that just adds so much character to it. Something that everyone can tease you about every year. It will become part of your Christmas memories. You really were tired, but it was worth it. Great job!
I would love to win the PKS faces. They're adorable.
Thanks for sharing :)
I'm sorry. I just took another look at your calendar, and you didn't misnumber them. It was just the way I looked at it.
Sorry again.

Hi Joanna,
Your Advent Calendar turned out soo adorable. I love all the images. You did a wonderful job. :) -Nicole
OMG!!! this is adorable and so much WORK! Fabulous job, lady! xxD
This is absolutely THE cutest Advent Calendar I have seen!!! AND what a tremendous amount of work you put into it. I am trying to make one for my grandson but I don't think it will be anywhere as detailed---think I am going to opt for the half-olf sticker aisle at Hobby Lobby since he will be ripping them open! ha!
This is so fabulous!!!
I love all the elements and the colors are awesome!!!
Love!!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing it with us at Paper Issues!!
=)
Super cute! This is right up my alley with the cute lil faces! Very well done!
