For today's project, I decided to make an advent calendar. I've never made one before, and I don't think I realized how much time it would take for all the little details (because I'm a bit of a perfectionist) - so needless to say, you only see the first 12 days of the countdown here. Anyways, I love the idea of using a mini-cupcake pan for the calendar, because it's the perfect place to put a little surprise. The back of the numbers are magnetic sheets that I cut using the cricut (really easy).
Here are some close-ups...
Thanks for stopping by! Your next stop is Christy
