Getting ready for Christmas...Advent Calendar.

Hi everyone, it is Sesil here to guide you through today's inspiration.

I had  a great opportunity to work with the Silhouette Advent Calendar. I had so much fun decorating this sturdy wooden calendar with Teresa Collins Designs - Christmas Home Collection.  It was nice to be able to have everything at your fingertips.

The advent calendar is an empty wooden box and a download card to cut out the drawers or gift box to your liking using a Silhouette.  I decided to go for the drawers because it gave me more space to embellish.  I knew I wanted to use the numbers from the calendar page from the Christmas Home Collection.  Here is what I was able to create with the Silhouette Advent Calendar and the Teresa Collins Designs Christmas Home Collection.

There are so many little details that you can add to the drawers.  Adding your own papers would change the total feel of the calender.  As you see I like to add a ton of bling and fun trims to most of the drawers.  I had an amazing time working on this project. I really like the drawers because with three kids I could actually put things in the drawers for ALL THREE kids instead of having to purchase three separate advent calendars.  SO THANK YOU Silhouette for making my life easier this holiday season.

But wait that is not all....

  4. Positively gorgeous, Sesil! Can the drawers be made without a Silhouette? Are there patterns for them somewhere else?

    I am not sure. You might want to contact Silhouette and see if they could print out the box pattern and you would have to hand cut everything. It is worth asking. I just don't know the correct answer. Sorry. I will also ask and see what they say. But again...all I can do is try. :)Sesil
