... sleeps till Santa

 Brrrrr... it's cold here today, so no battling with the Christmas shoppers for me. A day in front of the fire with the telly on, is a much better idea :-)

Our lovely host at CES this week is Donna, and the theme she has chosen is

Bear Necessities

so we would like to see a bear somewhere on your card/project.

I made a little countdown calendar that can keep me up to date on how fast those days are slipping away!!!

 

I used a 6 x 6 petal edge card as my base and covered it with Prima, North Country papers.

I die cut some rectangles and  numbers and attached them by punching holes through the card and tying them on with Divine Twine. This allows you to just flip the numbers over.

My bear is from Lili of the Valley, coloured with Copics and sprinkled with Glamour Dust.

 I blinged the background paper up, by adding some Christmas gems.

Here's a pic of the little strip of card that I attach inside, to the front and back of the base card. This just stops it from splaying open, but allows you to fold the card flat, to fit in an envelope.

Now grab yourself a coffee and head over to the main blog to check out the amazing work of my teamies.

And, if you fancy playing along this week, you could win a £10 voucher (excl. p & p)  to spend at Crafty Emma's.
