Guest Designer at Top Tip Tuesday

Yep, that's right! I'm the guest designer this week for Top Tip Tuesday!
I decided to make something a little different and make a Christmas Countdown clock in not your typical Christmas colors.

The challenge this week is

Tip: If you have a countdown to any Holiday or days to something special a "Clock" can always be edited to the number of days needed and makes a fun little gift.
