Stef found us some great inspiration this week -- Christopher Radko orrnaments, beautiful hand-blown glass Christmas ornaments. I chose this one, called Countryside Celebration as my inspiration. It's hard to see, but I put some Icicle Stickles on the snow on the roof and trees. I used this week's sketch challenge #361 for my layout.

Another absolutely gorgeous card with this church scene, Lois - love the music bg, it brings to mind going to a Christmas Eve carol service in a country church!

I love this. The scene is just beautiful. I don't think I have a church in my collection. Seeing this gorgeous creation makes me think I need to buy one. (Like one needs an excuse.)

Lovely use of the sketch as well as the IC. I particularly like the sparkle on the trees. The little snow-covered church reminds me of the little icing church I made to decorate my brother's wedding cake - winter wedding, on a day just as cold as your little scene looks, but without the snow.
