Christmas Countdown

Last year I made a Christmas Countdown Frame for my sister and her family. I LOVED it and decided that this year I had to make one for my family. I'm also going to use it to play with the Paper Players and their "Anything Goes" theme this week. I used the small Christmas Countdown Decor Elements and put the oval portion onto the glass part of a 11x14 inch frame (putting it onto the glass will allow me to change the background if I ever want to in the future). For the numbers, I made a tags out of the piece of cardboard that comes in the DSP packages, cut into squares, then using certainly celery, real red and chocolate chip I covered those squares, then cut a smaller square in whisper white for the centre. Then put the numbers onto it. I used the smallest Command hook that I could find to stick to the glass to hold the hanging number tag.

Using the stamp-a-ma-jig, I used the snowmen from Holiday Lineup, lined them up all together and colored in with stampin' write markers. Finally, I used sticky strip to wiggle on a strip of real red dotted ribbon (retired) to add a bit of additional Christmas color.

I hope it inspires you to create some great holiday decor for your home too!
