December Advent Cards

Although Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, I’m getting super excited for December to come so that I can start to pull together my December Daily project.  Today I started working on another of Ali’s projects- some December Advent cards.

I used A Muse colored cardstock which is white on the backside, so it was easy to print the cards on one side and then cut them out. I hand wrote little fun things for the girls to do (okay maybe not so much for Julia this year, as she’s not even one yet) – things like take a trip to the library to pick out a Christmas book, or chose one of your toys to donate to someone in need, drink hot chocolate, go sledding, take a drive to look at Christmas lights, etc.

I used my stash of Thickers and number stickers for the backs – had to dig deep as I ran out of 2′s – too many December Daily album’s have depleted my stash :) I love these little cards- printed out some extras to use as journaling cards and decoration for my album.

Here’s some links to free downloadable tags for your December Daily from Ormolu – I’ve ordered some tags from her in other years- love her stuff.

Happy Thanksgiving!

    Cute! I love the idea of doing them on the reverse of A Muse card stock. I just printed the red versions yesterday.

    Thanks for sharing, Jen! I love Ali’s version, but I think I’m going to go with the second link you posted. Can’t wait to put together this sweet and simple little project! Lily loves advent calendars, and I like the idea of putting fun things to do on each card – no matter how simple.
