Advent Calendar Blog Hop

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..
