Christmas Window

Good Morning All
Firstly I would like to welcome my new followers, I hope you enjoy what you see and I love to read what you have to say too.

As most of you know, I have been feeling down in the dumps abit lately, so, talking to John Next Door on Sunday, he suggested that sprucing my craft room up my help.  Well when I decide to do something, I want to do it NOW, or even yesterday.  So off I went on Monday to look for new shelving or cupboards, shop was shut for siesta so I went back last night and ordered what I NEEDED and it is being delivered this morning, I hope.  Two tall shelving units, so this means I need to do a total re-organisation, which I love.  I have been up since 7am and emptied room out, swept and mopped, so now waiting for the call to say they are on their way.  And the best bit is I am going to our local craft shop with Val (Spain) she doesn,t have a blog but we met through my blog and she only lives 10 minutes down the road.  So going to spend abit more money!!!!!

Two Christmas cards I made last week using a window idea.



        I just cut thin strips of the same card and stuck on the inside in a lattice pattern.  Kept the rest fairly simple.







 Used a Spellbinders square de lis  die for the window.




The sentiments are freebie from Netty HERE, she has lots of these on her blog that cover nearly every occasion.
 




A gorgeous Forever Friends picture for the inside stuck on embossed card.

CHALLENGES ------
Crafty Calender - Going on a Bear Hunt
Created With Love #CWLC 57 - Tic Tac Toe - Emboss, ribbon, brad    Made TOP 3








This is done the same way using a Docrafts decoupage, Daisy and Dandelion.




All my Christmas stuff is from at least, 1 year ago, most, 2 or 3 years ago.

Have a fun day, I know I will.

    Hi Wendy. Love the window idea. Think I'll have to copy that. As you know I'm a sucker for cute so love both cards.

    We'll have to buy plenty of crafty goods later to fill up your new shelves!

    Love Val x

    Hi Wendy
    Gorgeous cards. Love how you have done the apertures.
    Hope you're feeling better now. My room could do with a re-jig too. No room for more units sadly.
    Hope it all went well and you had a lovely time with Val.
