Country Christmas


This could be a scene from my livingroom window! I live in a cozy little cottage on the lake & can see the lights of the cottages across the water glowing at night. It is especially beautiful in winter with the snow glistening (although it is darn cold!)

I made this card using part of a Stampscapes set called "Lakeside Cabin" (how appropriate!) & the lovely Memory Box window die. I added acetate to the back of the window die cut; used dimensional tape to form a frame on the back; added about 1/2 tsp. of glitter snow inside the frame then stuck my little cabin scene on. Voila....a wintery scene through the window! The pine boughs are Martha Stewart; sentiment is from Beccy's Place & I made that tiny little bow with my own two hands! (actually made 10 of those little bows & there may have been a few bad words uttered in the process!)  I am well on my way to finishing my Christmas cards....about 10 more to go & a few gift card holders. How about you? Almost finished? One month from today is Christmas Eve!

Hugs, Renee

  4. Wait! You forgot something. There has to be a bear, moose, or deer outside that window somewhere. LOL. The card is beautiful Renee and I love how you incorporated the window die. Hugs!
