Two years ago (or maybe it was last year-I have a terrible memory for this kind of thing) I participated in a Christmas countdown calendar swap on the Cricut messageboards. 25 of us each got one number, made 25 of the same thing and ended up with 25 pieces for a calendar. I can't find the original thread on the message boards because it is too old.
I love our calendar and wanted to do one on my own. Who to give it to? I wanted it to go to someone I know would appreciate it. Now, I don't need accolades for my work but when I work on something this time consuming, I want to know the recipient isn't going to just toss it out next year. I gave this calendar to Ellie and Angel today.
Many of the pieces were directly inspired or copied from our own calendar so I will not say every piece is my own idea. I took pictures of a couple of my favorite pieces too.
I would love to make more of these. I love doing Christmas themes! So fun.

That is so cute! Great job! I was thinking of trying to make something like this next year (when I don't have any stocking to make, lol!)...
What exactly is it made of? (Paper, wood, combination?)
Michelle, I used a cookie sheet for the base. I modge podged paper on it. The pieces are made from paper-almost everything I cut out on my Cricut die cutter. Then I attached magnets on the back.
Cute Rachel...I would love to make something like that and have had a tutorial saved for about 2 years now...
