I like most crafty, scrapbooky people subscribe to a number of Scrapbook magazines and in every one from about October to December I saw this...
($19.95 at scrapbook.com)
and a few example of different people's versions of their advent calenders.
So when I got some Christmas money and Scrapbook.com FINALLY got them in stock I pounced...I also ordered some cute non traditional Christmas paper and then stalked my mailbox until it all finally came.
I started out using the non-traditional stuff, (I won't list the brand because it's cute and I don't want to slam it) however I found that I had cut all the squares out and attached them that they didn't mesh well and I wanted something more traditional after all.
So I had purchased some Making Memories Scrapbook paper (http://www.makingmemories.com/Products/detail/fa-la-la-paper) at Michaels and picked up a multi-paper pack at Target that matched to work on my other advent calender and to scrap our daughters Christmas pictures. I had a lot left over so I used what was left over as well as some Making Memorie Emblishments to make my advent calender.
These are the results:
I'll say that alot of the other calenders I have seen on online galleries such as
scrapbook.com are a lot more elaborate than mine, however, I wanted something that could be easily stored so that I wouldn't have to wrap it, or worry about it getting torn or broken while being moved.
So, I hope that you enjoyed the pictures and the products, if you have questions about particular parts of the project (like the awesome new glue I found, please feel free to email us or post a comment and I'll be happy to answer them. Pin It
