Curley's Crafts and Creations

Ryan needed a White Elephant gift for work. I found a super cute idea, but it did not work out and I had to quickly make a decision to figure a gift out. So I made this.....

I am still going to work on the other one, but hey, I can do it for myself right :)

I made an advent calender like this.....

and when I went out to get it this year I can't find it. I know what box it is in, but who knows where it is in all our storage. So I decided to make another one. But I found 2 that I really liked, and thought, oh well, I will just make both. They were super easy and I made them both in about a day. I was sick the one, so I moved slower than usual so I actually had to finish them the next day. Here are some pictures of them......

I just cut out a Christmas tree with my cricut then without unloading put the numbers on. Then I put some paper on wood circles and put a small magnet on the back. Each day we put an "ornament" on the tree until we get to the star.

Now some up-close of the snowman countdown. I found this cute clipart so I just printed it out and made it a sticker and stuck it to the paper.



I used my cricut to cut out the snowflakes with numbers in them. We are using a glass pebble as our "marker" and move it daily. I put a snowflake on blue paper on the pebble with a magnet on the back.

I also used my cricut to cut out the Let it Snow, and I layered it to help it stand out more.

Now my question is, Can you have to many advent Calenders?? I don't think so, but what do you think? Also, what do you think of the calendars? Are they cute enough? Should I add numbers to the circles on the tree one?
