Hi Everyone

Christmas is fast approaching so this week I thought I would share a couple of Advent Calendars I have created over the last couple of years.  It’s such an exciting time for kids – counting down to the big today and these are sure to keep the excitement levels sky-high.

This Advent Calendar I made last year looks so festive with the traditional Christmas colors.  The calendar base is from Kaisercraft and is easy to put together. If you follow this short video here on YouTube you can construct the frame in about 10 minutes. For a full list of materials used – see here.

To create the woodgrain effect, I inked the edges with Distress Ink and used a woodgrain stamp over the top with brown ink. You can see this technique in more detail on this post here. 

You can also see this Advent Calendar from 2010 here.
