Ever wonder what you can do with the left over pieces of DSP and embellishments from a Simply Scrappin' kit? Well, let me show you one way!
This advent calendar is made using scraps from the CHristmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit. The front of each drawer is decorated differently using a variety of embellishments and papers. Isn't this fun!?!? I can't take credit, my friend Sonia made this for me and I LOVE it!
Another fabulous feature to this little drawer set is I can decorate the back of each drawer for....you guessed it, Halloween!!! How fun will that be? Then inside each drawer I have little treats for my little sweets as we count down until Christmas (or Halloween!) If you click on the photo you can see all the details a lot closer. Have a wonderful Monday!
Take care,
Heather
Where did you find the cute thing with those drawers that you used for the advent? What a cute idea to use it for TWO holidays!!

I made one of these advent boxes for my grandaughter last year and she loves it! I've made 2 more this year. Thanks for the idea of decorating the other side of the box. I'll be doing it for Easter!

Sonia...I think you and Heather may have been separated at birth! You both never cease to amaze me with your ideas! This is an 11 out of 10 for sure!
