Even though my son is in Argentina on a mission for our church; I wanted him to feel our love from home during the Christmas season. I made this Advent Calendar the size of a large manila envelope. The back is the cardboard backing from a Scrap paper Slab- it even had a hanger built in! I covered the cardboard with snowflake paper, then green for the tree. I attached the Merry Christmas and 4 outer boxes only to the cardboard, that way I can just bend them back to fit in the envelope- but when he takes it out it will be bigger. I typed uplifting quotes and scriptures for him to open each day.

| Tape on board to tape quote to-so the tape doesn't rip the board paper |

| Scrap Slab back with hanger |
 |
| Place a small piece of tape over door to ensure the quotes stays in there |
This is awesome! Your son will love something to get him excited for Christmas, and it's so uplifting!
