I love the build up to Christmas - especially the wonder in the eyes of small children.
I thought this little project might be a different sort of countdown to the day - it could be used instead of an advent calender and then at the end of it, you have enough ready made photos to start a Christmas layout or album.
As most of us have digital cameras and printers, it would be easy to take a photograph every morning or night and print it for that day, replacing the photograph each day until Christmas.
I was inspired by an embroidery hoop but decided to make this with card but keep the general style. I used the awesomely cute "12 days of Christmas" range as my girls are full of giggles.

You could easily redo this for birthday or wedding countdowns or just make one for your favourite photos of 2012.
Enjoy!
