For some this year,

 joy and merriness will not necessarily be how they are feeling.

So somehow silver and snowflakes seem peaceful enough.

11th Advent Window

I feel the need for another pair of earrings! 

 This time from some of the sensational Star Wire Elements,

that are showcased in the Joyus Noel Suite.

 

This is literally less is more, as I have again simply added the copper wire element to the copper earring hooks, just what I needed for my last card workshop!

Keep on Christmas Crafting,

Advent Window 10

Sorry for the darkness of this photo, 

but I wanted the vellum panel to illuminate ;-)

This little lantern can be made easily with 2 x 7" by 8" panels, scoring at 3 3/4" and 7 1/2" to make the four panels and two half inch tabs for construction. 

I just cut one window for the vellum panel, with a 2cm border. 

I've used Soft Suede for the lantern, Early Espresso for the Prancing Deer from the Detailed Deer Thinlit dies, and then Versa Mark for the background stamp of the Dashing Deer Stamp Set. 

I found some fabulous copper wire lights with a battery pack that allow window long illumination.

Keep the Light Shining,
