I cheated. There. It's out there. LOL! My project COULD be a gift, but you would want to give it closer to Thanksgiving than Christmas....BUT....it is a super fun holiday project, so you will love it, anyway. K? K. Good. I feel better now that we got that all out there.
K...moving on....
It's a super fun Christmas Countdown Calendar!!! I used a simple plastic frame from IKEA and embellished it with gem stones and stamped and embossed snowflakes. I added the adorable little girl, colored seasonally, of course, and it is just a happy fun little count down calendar! YAY!!!
All of the stamps are from the Kiddo Snow Globe Perfectly Clear Stamp Set. It's SO CUTE!!!! I love these stamps!!!
For the number cards, I cut patterned paper cards and printed numbers on white cardstock to mount on the patterned paper. I punched circles, adhered them, then punched a hole in them for hanging from the two book rings. I added a bit of May Arts gingham ribbon cuteness to each card to finish off the calendar!

I just love this creative project! I used to always give the kids in the family advent calendars. Now they're all grown, but I bet they'd enjoy something like this. Thanks for the inspiration!
So very cute...fabulous!
This is so cool! I love this frame and how you decorated it. Your idea to create a count-down calendar is so creative. LOVE this!
Terrific gift idea! An advent calendar you can use again and again! You could make an "everyday" one with more days and use it for ANYTHING - countdown to vacation, retirement, Friday... LOL...what a fabby idea, Jingle. You're sooo clever!
Very cute- great use of a simple IKEA frame!
What a clever idea!
So cute and clean...guess I need to go check out Ikea with new fresh eyes!
What a fun countdown calendar! Love that little stamped image, she is so cute!
This is really darling. I was wondering where you got that frame. I love it, but I have never been to Ikea. I checked out the photo's of your new studio!! Beautiful I need to do that too. I hope you have a great weekend!!
That is such a great idea! What fun it would be to receive this and or to make it!
Awesome! Creative way to use a pic frame! Sure is cute and nice to have something that can be used year to year.
Adorable use of that cute stamp! Wish I had kids young enough (or grandkids) to enjoy such a cute countdown to Christmas!
What a fab idea and gift!
I love the way you used a frame to make the calendar. Fabulous!!
Who wouldn't love to receive this cute little gift?? I love it!
Fabulous project, thanks for the inspiration!

What a fun gift idea and so clever!
That is so cute!! I love that-and it would take up less room than an advent calendar. For some reason that little girl stamp reminds me of Dr Seuss characters.
Stellar idea Jingle! I'm totally CASE-ing this!
