Large Christmas card with an embossed greeting a red strip and a little green tree


 I started with a bright green card and added the red and green paper.  I embossed the red strip with a Christmas greeting embossing folder which has several different greetings on it.  I had a bus cut to put on this card but unfortunately I should have checked its size before I embosssed the strip because it covered part of the greeting. So I just changed it up and found this little tree in my stash.  I added glittery red paper behind the openings and yellow star brad to the top before adding to my card front.  Finished it up very nicely!!        Therese

Quilting pattern featuring houses with lights in the windows


 I found this quilting pattern at a thrift store recently and bought it for my daughter as she is always inspired by houses and buildings.  I really liked how they all worked together so nicely and it was good to have a colour reference too.  I expect I will replicate it in some way in my slow stitching.  It was created by Lorraine Stangness from Strathmore.    Therese
