Advent Calendar

This week's challenge for Papercraft Star is to use numbers. So I decided to make an advent calendar and a matching card to give as a Christmas present.
I made a huge white satin bow for the top of the box.
The patterned paper came from BoBunny. It's called Snowy Serenade from the Glitter Series. The shine and sparkle is so gorgeous! I also used a glitter card stock to die cut the numbers.
On the back of the advent calendar I used a digital image "Presented To" to add the finishing touch.
 You have until 6 am Monday to play along with us at Papercraft Star for a chance to win some digital images from our sponsor The House Across The Bay.

I'm linking this up to the following sites Really Reasonable Ribbon, Passionately Artistic, The Stuff of Success, Tatertots & Jello, Lifestyle Crafts, Christmas Inspirations, Creative Inspirations Paint, I Did It Creations, Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas, Little Claire's, Speedy Cats Friends and Wee Memories.
