My 2012 Advent Calendar

December 1st is just around the corner so it is time to break out the advent calendar!  I am super excited about the one we made this year so, without further ado, here is my 2012 Advent Calendar.

I started with 25 little mittens I cut using my Cameo out of shimmery blue scrapbook paper.

I decorated the mittens using a combination of scrapbook paper and washi tape.

I found some adorable little mini clothespins in the Target dollar spot and picked up 25 of them for my calendar.

On black Friday, I grabbed an 18×24 frame that I removed the glass and backing from.  Then, I spray painted it white.
I hot glued red ribbon to the back and clipped on my mittens.

The countdown is on {or at least it will be come December 1st!}
