That's how many days are left until Christmas! Now if you are think about posting your cards at the beginning of December?  Yikes! time's going on.....

I spotted a Teddy Boo on a Challenge and decided I must use some of mine again..The poor little critters have been filed away for soooo long!  When a digi hasn't been used for a while, you tend to forgot how much you loved them, I have a folder of these little bears and I wondered who to pick!  So out came  TEDDYBEA-011  isn't she a sweetie...
 I was really out of my comfort zone too......Firstly because it's a CAS card, and secondly because one of my Challenges has to use Sequins!  I coloured her with Copics..... LOts of glitter on her wings and hat...A marker pen were the sequins had to be placed.. Computer sentiment..... Papers from stash..
The only good thing was: The sequins!     I've a full card of different colours lurking in a drawer a kind DIL's father bought them for me for Christmas.    I just knew that they would come in handy..
