Hi everyone,

Today I have a super easy advent calendar for you. This is not my ideas, I was asked to make it by a Lady from my Facebook group. I believe the Lady who made it is called https://www.instagram.com/animanoscreativas/?hl=en

This is my version and I just made it up as I went along. It does require lot’s of card but it’s so easy to make and really looks gorgeous when it’s done.

I hope you like it.

I think you will agree that it really looks fab! You could also create a 12 days of Christmas Calendar and it would be great done in a Halloween theme.
