I already had the brick wall panel and the foaming shaving cream piece. I just stamped the image on the shaving cream background, cut the window and put over it on the wall. Die cut the Joy and bow and put on it. Used a color for back panel that matched the color of the shaving cream bg. I put it all on a white base.
This is for Jeanette's Night Before Christmas VSN Challenge. Jeanette to make a card about a pre-Christmas traditon, also ask us to tell about it. Decorating our tree is special with lots of special ornaments. I still remember decorating our tree when I was a child, and some of the special ornaments. One year we had all of these wonderfully punch out colored cardboard ornaments. I must have been very young, but I still remember how I loved them and hanging them on the tree. Even now, with the kids grown and across the country, I put up ornaments they made as children as well as some made by our grandchildren years ago. A lot of the ornaments each have a story, a trip we took, my college graduation. A friend gave me a ornament with my College logo on it for my graduation. I know, it is not an elegant tree, but one filled with fond memories. Thanks for looking.

What a delightful tree trimming image and wonderfully focused looking in through the window. Our tree, which is up but we haven't decorated yet (we'd better get going, right?) isn't a themed or elegant tree like some you see in home magazines but the ornaments have meaning like yours do. We even still have an (UGLY) ornament that I made in Kindergarten that I would just toss but the girls insist on putting it on the tree each year. Your card is delightful!
