    Love the idea of using the blocks to create a window scene ( might want to case this idea ;) one day). The golden tree looks very elegant, and the card was very 'snowy' IRL. Thanks for doing such aa awesome job with my technique challenge.

Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr
