Countdown to Valentine's Day

I was able to fit in a small amount of crafting time and worked on this Countdown for Valentine's Day for Kaylee.  I think she will enjoy the countdown and since her birthday is only two days after, she can be sort of counting down till then also.

I had these mini clothespins with red hearts on them that I purchased at Michaels a couple of years ago and have never used them.  I used a black sharpie marker to add the numbers onto the hearts.

Next, I took an Artist Panel that was a size 6x12 and hot glued the clothes pins for the countdown onto the board.

After they were attached, I measured the space left and used the Cricut to cut the saying out of red vinyl.  I used the Batman Cartridge for the font and the Create a Critter for the heart.

I then put a coat of Mod Podge over the vinyl to make sure it would stay down and not be peeling up off of the panel.

Finally, I took Sixlets Candy in Valentine colors and attached them to each day of the countdown using the clothespins.  Because of the clothespins, it will be easy to reuse this countdown each year.  

I am entering this into the following challenges:
