When is a card not a card.....??

... when you start making a card & realise it would be better suited as something else and you turn it into an 'object'!

Like this:

I intended/planned this to be a card and/but was itching to use the box canvas - then I had a little lightbulb moment! lol   2-birds-1-stone! lol

I love these 4x6" box canvasses that PaperArtsy have in their shop - such a dinky size but lovely and chunky at the same time..  love it - I can see me using these a lot...

(tree plate1, 'noel' plate3)

I'll have a bluuuuueeee christmas..

... with all the decorations and cards I have that carry a blue theme.....

I really enjoy making cards like this - a standard size card (10.5x15cm) that opens up into something more:

(single baubles & 'noel' plate3, top scallop border & bauble garland plate6, snowflakes mini6)

Busy & varied weekend coming up - Demo'ing at The Craft Barn on saturday and then at Birds in the Barn on sunday... fun, fun, fun  :o)
