It's been such a long time since I joined in over at the Lets Get Shabby challenge site but this months challenge of incorporating your favourite christmas carol into your creation was just too good to miss. So..... it was off to the local Spar shop for 24 matchboxes!!! An handmade advent calendar was about to be created.
After stacking and sticking the matchboxes into groups of 3 I covered the top and bottom with Basic Grey Basic Whites patterned paper which I bought at Grimsby Crafts. I added some corner flourishes by using Marianne die cuts (again bought from Grimsby Crafts) to the top of the calendar and added some white flowers. Gold Swarvoski pearls were used to create drawer handles and the vintage angel images are available from Marie Freebies. I used my late moms favourite carol as my inspiration for my calendar - Hark! The herald angels sing - the songsheet printed onto white cardstock and the Magnolia tag die used. And here it is......
Thank you for looking
