An Advent Calendar - Non Traditional Colors!

I have to laugh because the background of my walls match this Lucky Limeade I used on my Advent Calendar. Its bright! My studio for my crafting is in the basement and if you've not seen my craft room before, you'd understand.. very small windows and only a couple.. so I wanted it bright and cheery.. and that it is! So, I wanted to share this advent calendar with you. I got this idea out of November's Stampin Success magazine that we as demonstrators receive monthly. As soon as I seen this, I fell in love with it. The frame is handmade as well, using lumber from Lowes and white paint that I added water to (to give it a white wash finish) and the background is screen from the other local hardware store. There is a lot of punches used, along with the big shot and dies.. I'll have to make a list.. the colors used: Whisper White, Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo and Poppy Parade. It was a lot of fun to make.. I hope you enjoy the photos.. the frame is 16 x 16.
