The Craft Garden November Challenge

This month we have a very unique challenge ….

JIGSAW

You can interpret it anyway you want!!!

Well, the moment I saw it, I knew that I wanted to create a pocket letter!!!

So I thought why now start making Christmas ones instead of cards this year …

So this is what I made:

PB012722

 

Nine pieces of paper coming together to make a whole, now isn’t that a jigsaw??? 🙂

As you can see I’ve added more elements and seperated them … 🙂

PB012716

A stamped sentiment divided into four, and the ribbon and little pined added more to the ‘card’.

PB012717

Close up of little scene, stamped trees  and reindeers , lots of fussy cutting and a bit of embossing!!!

 

Well I hope you like this, and please come and join us this month!!!
