counting down to christmas....

hi everyone, sharing my newest project for Lily Bee Blog today... using the jingle collection and having some calendar fun. I wanted to create a little something to count down to christmas and new year and came up with this idea of creating calendar cards (and finally putting that mini library drawer from 7 gypsies to use). The idea is that the front would always show the current date and the older ones are placed behind...

And here's a picture of all the cards laid out.... I tried to create some variations among them and also for some opted for big number chipboards (for the date) while others had more area for journaling...

and here are some close up on the elements... I pretty much used everything that was included in the Jingle collection - pattern papers, index cards, cardstock stickers, ABC stickers and stamps - on these cards...

to create that vintage / distress look on the chipboard numbers - I had used an small ink pad to color the area, lightly pressing down so that not all the surface was covered...

more pictures of the remaining cards...

thanks for stopping by and don't forget to stop by the Lily Bee Blog for more details. thanks again everyone and hope you're having a great weekend so far!
