Well this isn't exactly the boxes I started with, but close enough. 

They didn't have the back on it.

Found at my local craft store just waiting to be altered.

I took the boxes apart. Counted out enough for 13 to 31 days.

Then figured out how I wanted to arrange them.

I knew I wanted to use several of Tim's dies as my focal point.

So I left the center open to set my scene.

I cut a variety of papers to fit the fronts of the boxes and 

used a punch for the circular area.

Painted all of the boxes black, glued on the papers. 

Then started  die cutting the images.

I punched a small hole in each drawer and used a brad for the pulls. 

Edged each drawer with Vintage Photo distress ink 

Close up of the center scene. 

I used grunge board for the boo, painted black and added black glitter

Punched out the tombstones 

painted grey and added green flower soft for moss.

Glued on the # for each drawer added a skull and some pumpkins.

Could you image receiving a countdown calender like this for Halloween?

Especially if each drawer was filled with 

TIM HOLTZ goodies!!!

TO DIE FOR INDEED!!!!
