Oh My GOSH! I can't tell you how fun this project was to make!
I decided to create a winter scene on the front of my countdown calendar. These chipboard trees are the cutest winter embellishment I've seen in a while!
I used stickles to create "snow" on my trees.

Since I created a scene on my calendar, some of my "mountain" made it impossible to open the middle drawers. Simple solution - I connected the kits' Tim Holtz Charm Fragments with jewelry fasteners to these drawers. (This is my favorite part!)

Oh my goodness this is just beyond amazing! I can see how much fun this would be to create and you did such a great job. Of course, the products in this kit really helped, amazing colors.
Holly this is amazing.... I love it and so want one... the kit is fab this month and this is a perfect combo of an amazing kit and an amazing designer. Way to rock it.
Holly this is beautiful!
WOW!! this is such a cool project to make!! it turned out beautifully, Holly!!
Gorgeous project Holly! Just stunning. I NEED one of these!
LOVE IT!
I bow to you!
Love the overall look/design!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the technique with the charm as a pull!
That looks GREAT! I just got mine in the mail today and am making an Advent calendar for my Granddaughter (it's a little late, but she can use it for years to come).
What did you use to cut your paper to match the pull holes in each drawer? I suppose I could just draw a template and cut it by hand, but a punch would be much easier if one existed. ;)
