Advent Calendar with Cats on Appletrees

Hi Everyone,

no card today, but I am showing you the front of my yearly advent calendar that I make for my daughter. My son prefers the chocolate one, those are easy...


I used designer paper as background and die cut the windows with an Ellen Hutson die. I used a template by Julie Ebersole - you can find it HERE. If you are interested in more details - I have a photo tutorial HERE, that explains exactly how I made this. Just in case you have a few hours to spare to make your own advent calendar....
The numbered baubles are by Memory Box and lastly the animals are from Cats on Appletrees.

If you are interested to see the inside - come back after Christmas, I'll show it to you....

Not much longer until Christmas!

Happy Stamping!

Of course, I'm interested. The problem is the time which already seems to be in short supply. Still who could resist this fascinating and adorable advent calendar. You know I love the critters but the design with those numbers really make me smile. What a wonderful creation.

That'll make a lovely after-Christmas treat, Cornelia (coming back to see what's inside, that is!) ... love these critters scattered about over the bauble numbers ... such a brilliant design! Hugs, Anita :)
I think she will love it. Cute idea.
