LET IT SNOW ADVENT CALENDAR | with Kathy

I love making Advent calendars. Every year I make one with my Doodlebug Christmas goodies! I put this fun one together using the Let it Snow Collection... Take a peek....

To create the calendar, I combined two different files that are available in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop. I started with this file as the base with the 24 drawers. I then resized and added the tree from the Christmas Tree Gifts calendar I created last year. All that was left was to decorate with the fabulous papers and Odds & Ends in the Let it Snow Collection.

I used the 6x6 pad to cover the drawers and side panels. I love the smaller prints! There are so many cute icons in the Odds & Ends pack, I wanted to create little scenes that could be seen on every side of the calendar. I made some to sit around the tree... propping them up with a little easel, and then more on each of the sides...

Each of the drawers is big enough to hold a gift card or some special treats! It's perfect if you have more than one little elf who likes to open the daily advent drawer, as it fits quite a bit! For my drawer pulls I used some chunky brads and I used some My Type Alphas to number each drawer.

Here are some close-ups of all the little scenes....

I really had fun putting this all together! If you've made something with the Let It Snow Collection, be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram! We always love to see your creations! That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
