 Today's challenge is to make an Advent Calendar. (If you prefer, you could make a Birthday count down Calendar! That way you could use it year round!)

Here is the link to Pat's Tutorial on MFPSpeedyTV.

 

 

Instead of a 25 day advent calendar I created a 9 day calendar.  I used an 11 x 14 piece of poster board and covered it with some Christmas wrapping paper for the background.  I used various stamp sets from Mark's Finest Papers to decorate each pocket.  The large bow was created using red felt and cutting it out using a die.  A button gem decorates the center of the bow.
