Isn't it adorable?!? The little vintage flashcards are from Pretty Little Studio. There are 31 cards, and they are so unbelievably cute. The number 24 card is my favorite.
I painted a plain white 5x7" frame using the same technique and colors I used to transform my cheese dome. I pulled the label holder off of the old post office cubbies that I bought at a yard sale last fall...
My oldest is so excited about this. She keeps clipping different cards in the mini clothespin to try it out. Her birthday isn't until June, though, so she's going to have to wait a little bit.

I LOVE this. I think that #24 card is pretty darn cute, too! I need a good excuse to order some vintage flash cards and this might be it!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea..maybe you could make 'month' cards too...so the countdown could go longer between birthdays in the household.
ReplyDeleteI love vintage prints like that. So cute. What a fun project to make! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out so adorable! I love the vintage cards- great addition:) It's funny because I was thinking about buying her B is for Boy flashcards...how appropriate!
ReplyDeleteOooh, cute! I think I'll have to make one for counting down the days until school is out. Han informed me the other day that there were only 59 days left. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove this! Cooper would get such a kick out of it. I love that it's in the cute frame and the cards are a great touch!! And this could be modified for any celebration.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute! I love the idea of changing out the text in the label holder so you can use it for any countdown. Day's until Spring/Easter/Summer/Vacation -Fun!!

Kids are always wanting to know how long it is till their birthday. What a fun idea. This gives them something to do so that the days feel like they're getting closer faster.
