Time really does fly, no sooner has Halloween left flying off on her lonesome broom than we see the shops filled with reds and greens and all things that glitter and sparkle. It can only mean one thing ....
{Christmas is on the way and I love Christmas!}
I have an advent calendar to help me get even more excited about the 24th of December when Santa comes to visit. I know that the shelves are filled with advent calendars with chocolate waiting behind every door but I just love the ones with the simple bell, present or maybe a big bow which are revealed as the wee door is opened each day.
So when I was making some goodies to sell I created this
The papers I used here are the Papermania Country Companions Winter Wishes. I love the colours and fun little designs on the papers. I even dug out my Sizzix Smoothie Alphabet dies for the numbers!
I made it to look like a little drum. The countdown are just blocks from my little peoples old toys ( I remember saying that I'll use them one day!!)
and of course the wee hedgie is just adorable clutching his poinsettia. Adding a decoupage adds some texture to the base of the countdown.
After making a few of these I am hopeful that they will make other people smile as they count down to Christmas themselves.
Have a great day
Beckie :)
