Twinkles Boo...

'Twinkles Boo' was provided by Lacey Sunshine Stamps

I love this sweet image... reminds me of Christmases past.  I was one who could not sleep on Christmas eve.  Mom would give me books to read - but about 3am I would start going into their bedroom... "Is it time yet?"  "Can we get up yet?"  I knew better than to go out to the tree and spoil everything.  My parents would give up around 6am and I would finally get to go wake my brothers.  The tradition holds - to this day I call {time has slipped a bit to 7am} and wake my brothers long distance - "It's time!!!!!"  They hate that!  But they do laugh... a little.
This is my DT card for Aud Sentiments' current challenge... I would love for you to see some of the incredible art work my teamies have created with Heather Valentin's drawings.  She is one of my favorite digital artists and I tell you, this team showcased them so beautifully and creatively!  While you are there - you can enter up to three projects in the Anything Goes Challenge!

This is my first attempt at shading a nose... have been watching some of the great videos out there right now!  Hmmmm.  Need more practice.  
So here is the simple recipe:
