First Advent Window - Simple Snow Globe

 I'm not really sure how many posts will be happening this year, as not really feeling the joy - just thought I'd start, and who knows what might happen ;-)

As we've had a little of the white stuff in November and quite a few frosty mornings I've made a little Gingerbread House on a hill of snow, with Frosty the snowman in the foreground.

Stamp Set: Humble Home (Mini catalogue)

Ink: Versa Ink and White emboss

Cardstock: Cajun Craze and White Velvet (roof)

Accessories: Humble Home Builder Punch and

Keep on Christmas crafting, 

it's a good distraction, GenGen x

22nd Advent Window - it's a wrap!

All the "children" are growing up fast, so the Tree envelopes this year have been made from the One Horse Sleigh 6"x6" DSP with winter scenes and a little glittery ribbon.

I seriously cheated with some of my smaller presents . . . 

. . . by using DSP and matching the ribbon and tag to co-ordinate ;-)

Each present wrapped, is another off the list ;-)

Nineteenth Advent Window - Woodland deer

 

A winter woodland scene today, using the fabulous DSP from the One Horse Sleigh Suite.

Having the adhesive backed snowflakes also, I wasn't really sure how to tie in copper snowflakes, but this neutral palate allows the copper foil cardstock to  match in with the snowflakes.

I used Staz On Saddle Brown for the sentiment from the Christmas Classics stamp set on vellum to still see the DSP.

Here's hoping we all get time for a winter woodland walk, GenGen XxXxX
