Christmas Advent Calender Countdown... and some free Christmas Printables too!

So I was doing a bit of grocery shopping and found this little advent calender and it was on sale...but just not my style...so what to do?....Alter it :))
Well I was just getting the finishing touches on it when I saw that the "Created byhand Challenge" was Christmas Countdown! So of course I had to entry mine :))

First I wanted to show the before... but I forgot to take a picture of it before but here is one I found on the internet.

I tell myself that I did this for my little grandson Quinton but really I think it is just as much for me. I can't wait to see and share the countdown with him! A tradition I hope to carry on for many years to come.
... this is the "After" with it closed... You can click on the pictures to see a larger one .... The graphics are below as my Christmas gift to you <]:{o>>>

and this is the inside.. The stamps are from "Scroll Works" and all the printed images are from my little etsy store... again you can click on the little picture to go to a larger one

I loved this one.. it from an old magazine print by Thomas Nast

The sheet music is just something I put together as is the Christmas text done in an old newspaper style

For this one I took some old sheet music for "Angels we have heard on high" and dressed it up. The holly story came from an old book and it is not in the picture, however it is on the right side of the calendar and it wraps to the back. I then filled the rest of the back with the text sheet. That way even though the text is covered with graphics on the inside you can still turn the calendar around and read it.
