advent calendar

I've found this blog and I absolutely love it. I love all of the ideas. We'll I saw this advent calendar (the seventh picture down) and had to see if I could do it too. She bought the matchboxes and covered them with Christmas paper. I used one of my cricut cartridges and made the matchboxes. I love how it turned out.

My sister in law gave me the magnet board. So I put magnets on the back of the boxes and made a tree shape out of them I might paint the frame, but I kinda like the color that it is. I haven't decided really.

I still need to add the numbers to them and fill them with Christmas candy or sayings or something. Any ideas? It has to be kinda small and thin, and not too heavy.

I added the ribbon as a pull so you can get into them easier.

OK that's totally cute! If you haven't done the numbers yet, I'll totally send you some vinyl if you'll send me a picture! I need lots of ideas to show at this Christmas Boutique I'm going to be at next week! As for treats, I've got no idea. It seems big enough to hold a little wrapped chocolate treat?
