December Means Christmas - Crafty Creations Challenge

Hi ya everyone!
  Here is my Crafty Creations project for the week!  We used some wonderful images donated to us by Sketching Stamper!  Isn't the snow fairy GORGEOUS!?  The challenge this week was chosen by our awesome design team member Sharon - show a number on your project.  Well, I chose 31 numbers - but that counts right?  LOL
The calendar page is mounted on a 12x12 piece of cardstock and the snowflake background paper is from Boxer Scrapbook Productions, LLC - Snowflakes on Blue.  I made the calendar part and computer generated the December Means Christmas using PowerPoint.  I printed those out and cut them with my paper trimmer and microtipped scissors.  I paper pieced the snow fairy's clothes with paper from Best Creation Inc called Mr. & Mrs., colored her face and hair and then added stickles to her fur trimming.  I also stickled her wings. 

I added a number of snowflake brads and embellishments.  Lastly, I added a ribbon to hang this at Christmas! Thanks for stopping and by and don't forget to join in on the Crafty Creations Challenge - you could win a gift from our wonderful sponsor - Sketching Stamper.
Enjoy!
