Days Til Christmas

The sketch this week from Card Postitioning Systems:
I used it as the front of my countdown calendar. I got the idea for this Calendar from Leslie, she used chipboard coasters (4"). I made mine 6". This is also for the Caardvarks Color it challenge. I haven't colored something in for awhile. This is also for the Paper Cutz Challenge - get this "Anything Goes" - so I could enter anything I make this week really. But I will probably just enter this one. I kept it pretty simple as I am going to be using this in my grade 1 class. I did mount Santa on foam squares, use liquid applique and glitter on his fur, a real pompom for his hat and I painted his boots and outfit with Shimmerz. Oh and I realize that the red circle and green panel are backwards (ie should be the other way around so Santa stands out), quite honestly, I just used some scraps and because it is for at school, I didn't really care!

The inside, very simple.
