December Planner!

It's the 6th of the month so that means us Limelight Papercrafts Chickies have a project to share with you!

This month...think calendars, countdowns, planners...etc!

I saw THIS on Beate's blog and knew I had to give it a try!

For the front I used a sheet of paper from the fabulous Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses 6x6
pad at the top and to cover the snowflake.

The Snowflake is from the Basic Grey Undressed Chipboard Holiday Ornaments pack.
I edged it in Snowdrift Sparkle Fibers to glitz it up!

I stamped the 'swirl' from the Unity November Store KOM ~ Believe in Fairytales in versamark.

The Wine Rhinestones at the top are a perfect match for the Rich Razzleberry paper.
And that Basic Grey Button at the bottom left is a super close match!

And it's all tied up with some luxurious 1.5" Pink Silk Ribbon!

The inside uses another design from the Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses 6x6 pad.

I used more of the Wine Rhinestones and then some Split Pea Rhinestones (a great match for Old Olive) to embellish around the titles.
