Day 3 projects are so much fun. I am so glad to be able to share them with you. This project was designed by Mindy Beverly.  Her blog here.   Original Design is using the Winter Critters Stamp Set. I used the Inuit Marci (used the smaller size 2-1/4" tall) and Winter Blessing Stamp Set used for this project. This project is 5-1/2" x 7-1/2" x 2-3/4".
Top half of the calendar: a Snowflake Border is die cut to be positioned across the top of the project. The snowfalkes create that shaker effect.
These boxes are 2" x 2" x 2".  Numbers are in each of the sides to enable a combination of dates for the count down.

See the background for the sky? It is made using Blue Lagoon and Chip Sapphire, then use a white gel pen to dot the sky for the "stars".
Side view:
Back: Use the Postage Stamp die to create a mat for the Christmas Trees at the bottom right corner.
Those cute little boxes do open so little treats can be inserted each day of the count down.
