Christmas Advent Calendar Scrapbook Page

Hey everyone! We're into December and the Christmas season is on! I love this time of year and today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project. It's an advent calendar that's not only a fun way to count down the days until Christmas, but ... it's also wonderful addition to your scrapbook after the holiday.

I designed this with the Candy Cane Lane Collection, little envelopes, and teeny tiny embellishments. So, so cute! I loved choosing all the different 6x6 and 12x12 patterned papers, die cuts, and stickers for this project.

I wanted little pockets and remembered I had the Love Notes Doodle Cuts metal die set (link below). I used the largest envelope die which was 2" x 1.25", so ... 25 envelopes (5 rows of 5) would fit perfectly! I cut, folded, and glued one for each day leading up to and including Christmas.

I created my base by layering three different 12x12 prints called Snow Bright, Holiday Lights, and Christmas Sprinkles. Next, I arranged my envelopes until I had them laid out evenly. 

It needed something in between the rows of envelopes so, I cut and added scalloped strips from the 12x12 print called Festive Flowers. 

I cut 25 white mats that were 1.25" x 1.75" and tucked one inside each of the envelopes. These make a perfect spot for thoughtful notes. Or ... it would be really fun to add a clue or riddle! Then you could send people on a mini treasure hunt each day for a little surprise. You could hide a sweet treat, a small toy, tickets to an event, or even small photos from the day! 

Then, it was time to embellish! I couldn't wait to use the cute new puffy shapes icons. There are Santas, presents, flowers, reindeer, Christmas trees, snowmen, and holly. And, I love every single one of them.

To keep track of the days, I added numbers to each envelope using puffy Alphabet Soup stickers in ladybug, swimming pool, limeade, bumblebee, and lily white.

At the bottom, I added some really cute die cuts from the Odds & Ends and the Christmas title from Chit Chat.

After the holiday, save this layout in a clear page protector and add it to your scrapbook. It's a perfect way to remember the fun you and your family had counting down the days until Christmas.💗
