DT- Digi Doodles Shop`s Best - Ch# 31

Then it is time for a new DT- Card for Digi Doodles Shop`s Best challenge. This week it is "Anything Goes".

I've created a Christmas calendar. 

I do not know if you tend to have such a thing out there in the world but here in Norway this is a great tradition that the kids have .. and some adult .. (Like me ...).

We in Norway are celebrating Christmas on Christmas Eve itself, the 24.dec. So there are 24 "doors" in the calendar. A packet to each day until Christmas Eve.

It is often candy that is wrapped to get in the calendar.

This calendar is made of a box made of cardboard, which I have bought at Panduro Hobby. 

Here is the front with the hatch.

When you open the today "door", you have to cut the thread of the heart. 

The package (Shown here as rolls of paper scraps) that you have attached inside the box (with the thread that runs through the box out to the heart on the outside) falls then into the "ski slope" that is inside the box. 

Then it's just to open the hatch and take the package out..

I have not come up with this my self, but found it at SkreppeHuset`s blog. It`s in Norwegian, but maybe you can understand based on the pictures?

The tree on top of the lid, I have found on You Tube.

The boxes are boxes of matches that I have decorated with paper. These boxes will be for the hearts as you cut them off each day. Then you save them and can use the calendar again next year.

The "doors" have to be over the "ski slope" inside the box or the candy will not fall down the slope.. 

I have 5 "doors" on the front and 6 "doors" at the other sider. And the 24th "door" is on the top. Then you can have a largre package that day.

Here is the match boxes for the hearts :) 

I have also used a stamp from Digi Doodle Shop

This is called The Perfect Tree. 

I have not spent the whole stamp, but only those two cute kids. I have mirrored a stamp in photoshop and colored them with promarkers.

I cut them out and used 3D pillows between them to make them more stable. I also spent a bit stiff paper between them which I glued onto the lid. This I covered with glitter snow.

Pattern papers I've used on the box are the new Christmas sheets from Ladybug and Friends. On the tree, I have used different pattern which I had lying around.

Hope you were inspired to create the calendar.

Good luck:)

Love, Tine.
