It's December - Advent begins! Polkadoodles Digi Choosday

Time to open that Advent Calendar!

Today's theme for the design team was

''ADVENT CALENDAR''

There's also an amazing

DISCOUNT CODE for the

Polkadoodles store TODAY!

Check out the blog for all the details.

As soon as I saw the theme for the Design Team this week was advent - I knew exactly what I was going to do! I had an old boxed advent calendar of drawers which I've been meaning to 'upcycle' for a while. This was the perfect opportunity.

I love upcycling - turning something I like, into something I'll love!

I covered the box using backing paper from

Winnie Christmas Wishes Paper 1

Each individual drawer was covered in red card, numbered and decorated using various images from the cutest Christmas pre-coloured bundles such as

Winnie Winterland, Winnie White Christmas and

Octavia Frosted Winter Digital Downloadable CD Rom.

I attached a large tartan bow to the top. Each drawer will contain a chocolate treat and on the 24th - there's room for a few!

Door #1 opens today!
