Wow, yesterday was a full day of "therapy". I had my upline meeting in the morning, and then my BFF (my convention roommate) came over to my house afterwards and we each made one of these cute Christmas Countdowns. Boy do they take a lot of work!!!! We worked on these things for over 8 hours yesterday, but I think it turned out pretty cute. It uses LOTS of new toys from the Holiday mini catalog. I will list the supplies at the end of this post. I will say that I used the Christmas Lane Simply Scrappin kit for mine.
I also included a closer picture of each little square. For the squares that arn't using the Peekaboo frames, I cut them into 2 1/4" squares. You can see that some were embossed using the new snow burst embossing folder.....my new favorite!!!!
For more effecient picture taking, you'll notice that they are not all in order.
As you can see, there is a LOT of detail. I'm really glad I made one though. I don't know if you can tell, but I glued mine onto a 12 x 12 canvas.

If anyone has any questions on any of the squares, you can leave me a comment and ask. I realize some of the pictures still didn't give all the details. We pretty much copied the sample from the Holiday mini, just making a few changes.
Thanks for peeking in today.

Wow Andrea, this is great and a lot of work. I don't think I will be attempting one any time soon. I also like your take on paper crafting in your about me section. I noticed that I am on you follow list. I just signed to follow you. I caught your site because I am looking for ideas on using this Simply Scrappin Kit to do a card making class. Thanks for sharing.
