Morning readers,
I hope you all enjoyed some nice weather and some social distancing when out of your homes for the permitted reasons! It was sunny, cool and with a stiff breeze, my sheets and towels line dried a treat! Feels like we've been self-isolating FOREVER but, in reality, it's just two weeks ... I can hardly wait for us to be able to go out and mingle freely but I totally get that it's not going to happen just yet. I've been leaving the house daily, for exercise and occasional shop but keeping my distance where possible, but I'm missing the "coffee meets" with pals, dinner with friends and even people just "popping in" to say hello ..... one day ..... pretty sure I'll be more appreciative of that freedom too.
I've been spending more time in the garden (just me and my book) and also at the ToC (that's Table of Craftiness) so .... I've a make to share with you today ....

What a gorgeous little bear - coloured very effectively - and to use all of our three prompts in one card - fabulous. Thank you for joining us at ABC Christmas Challenge xx Lynda DT
Well, I am LOVING your inky grungy ATC with the perfectly apt sentiment for these times!
Super little teddy bear Xmas card too. Uber CAS and I spy a bit of sparkle in the photo too!

Cute Christmas card Kathy, I love the matching envelope too! Christmas will be here before we know it! Thanks for sharing with us at Watercooler Wednesday.
Ah both your creations are lovely, the teddy is so cute, what a sweetie. Thanks for sharing with me over on Fezziwigs Festive Frolics, Hazel xx
You've created an adorable card Kathy. Lovely colouring on that bear and great layout. Thanks for joining us at Sweet Stampin' Christmas Challenges. Tristan DT.
A great ATC Kathy and love the colours and the variety of stamps you have used, and then your sweet bear with his pretty sparkly tinsel and baubles, beautifully coloured by you too. x
Love the little bear! Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges! Kath DT
I would have liked to read which leftovers you used, but even without your card is very nice. I like the CAS style. Thanks for joining our "Leftover" Challenge @ Little Red Wagon. Hope to see you back again soon.

Imke - leftovers and snippets are really the same sort of thing ... little snippets of card left over from previous projects - hope that answers your query

Fabulous ATC! The background is awesome! I'm always in awe of people who are able to mix stamps like this and end up with something that looks good. I think mine would end up looking like a hot mess! And your little bear is adorable!! Never too early to start Christmas cards in my book! Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
