My Christmas Countdown Calendar is finally done!!

I have been wanting to do this project since last year when I saw it posted on Splitcoast Stampers. I finally made the time to do it. This is a very time consuming project, I would say it took me a week on and off to complete. Check out the awesome tutorial by Beate Johns here.

Here is my finished project. The worst part by far was cutting out each letter and then embossing them with the Iridescent Ice Stampin' Emboss Powder. It took awhile and it was my last step, I just wanted to be done.
