Christmas Countdown Frame

My sister bought me these adorable vintage santa flashcards from a super fun Etsy shop called Pretty Little Studio. You won't believe all the adorable goodness that is in this shop! I was giddy over these cards and it didn't take me long to figure out what I wanted to do with these little guys.

I took a frame from the toy shelf that was spray painted black and sanded on the edges and knew it would be just right for this project. I found some scrapbook paper that I love and cut it to a 4 x 6 size to fit the frame.

I used a label holder and two brads from my poor neglected scrapbook stash. I popped it in the middle at the bottom of the paper.

I then typed and printed off a little christmas label from the computer and stuck it in.

I found a mini clothespin and knew it would be just the right thing to hold the cards in the frame.

I got my craft glue out to attach the clothespin to the paper.

I enlisted some help to do the gluing.

And then attached it to the paper.

Now what to do with the rest of the cards while they are not in use?

I searched the house and came across this little white jewelry bag. It was just the right size to hold the cards. This is why I don't throw little containers or bags away. You just never know when they might come in handy.

I simply tied it onto the hanger on the back of the frame so it would be easy access each time we needed to switch cards but would not be visible from the front.

And now we have a fun and festive Christmas countdown that the kids will LOVE to change each morning.

And after Christmas, it can be stored away with the rest of the goods and pop a picture back in the frame. Such a quick and simple way to have a Christmas countdown.

I'll be joining these parties this week!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Tuesday!
