Some Odd Girl DT Inspiration: An Advent Calendar!

Hi everyone!

I've got a super fun project to share with you over at the Some Odd Girl blog - check it out HERE! But if you want to know more about how I created it, keep reading below...

Would you believe that this is the very first advent calendar I've created? I had purchased this Silhouette Advent Calendar over the summer from here after seeing this project. Well, needless to say, the frame ended up in the box for all of the summer and I never got any use out of it.

Until now!

I got this idea from Pinterest and this post... I wanted to create a similar project using Some Odd Girl product! So I used scraps of Sunshine Sorbet, some Sorbet Sequins and some stamps from HollyDay Gwen, Gifty Gwen, and Tree Trimming Kaylee.

 I'm really proud of how well it turned out!

Here's a closer look below.

 I used the 3x4 library pocket from the Silhouette Store (Design ID #25495) and resized it so that I could fit four to one 12x12 piece of cardstock. And then I let my Cameo do all the work and cut out 25 library pockets.

I decorated each one with scraps of Sunshine Sorbet and some sequins and added number stickers that I've had in my stash.

Each day will have a card that will have something fun written on it.

 Here are some ideas I have so far:

• bake Christmas cookies
• drive around the neighborhood to look at Christmas lights
• make fudge
• wrap presents
• read a Christmas story
• take a picture with Santa

I'm still working on more ideas, so if you have any, send them my way!

I hope you enjoyed my project for today! Yay for getting one holiday project done before the season starts!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous week!

GIRL this project is just AmaZing. I love it. So proud of u gril. If you do a December Daily this year you can use the pockets as numbers. That would be fun. Great Job (oh I shouted you out on my blog about this project)
