Verve Project Challenge - Advent Calendar

Happy Tuesday and thanks for stopping by Jennifer's Sweet Designs! :) I don't know about you but I seriously can not believe that Christmas is only 23 days away! To bring me back to reality, I created this fun advent calendar for the Verve Project Challenge. I created this fun calendar on a small cookie sheet that I got at my local Dollar Tree. The cookie sheet measures 13.2 “ X 9.2 “. To personalize our calendar, I added our family name on the top using a fun font on the computer. This font is called Curlz MT.

Since the cookie sheet was longer then my standard 8 ½ x 11 cardstock, I had to camouflage the seam by covering it up with some fun layers. The background of the calendar was stamped and embossed using the Snowflake Splendor stamp set. All of the dates were made using the square scalloped Nestabilities and layered with piece of chocolate chip cardstock. Numbers were created using my Playground font by Sizzix. (You all know how much I LOVE my Sizzix stuff) :)

What would Christmas be without glitter? Once the calendar was put together, I used the Martha Stewart snow glitter all over my project along with the fun layers on the bottom of the calendar.

Since our family is full of December Birthdays, I used my Birthday Surprise stamp set and embossed a few presents to mark all of the Birthdays in December. The snowman was stamped twice using the Snow Wonderful stamp set. To make our calendar interactive, all of the images have a piece of magnet on the back. My calendar was a blast to make and you too can create something so fun and something you will cherish for years to come! I know my children will have fun each morning moving us a day closer to the best time of year!
