Default WT154 Open a Window Take Two

It's rerun week for today's WT challenge! I think you'll like this rerun. It takes us back to WT challenge 85 (Nov 2/06) ....Open a Window. Now what does that mean?...window cards of course! While its wayyy too cold here to open real windows... I'm dreaming of Spring when I can! This week find ways to make windows in your card designs and papercraft projects. Glitter windows, punched windows, beaded windows, even stamped images of window are just fine! I like making windows... unfortunately I usually forget about creating them. If you're like me...challenge yourself this week to create at least one! I just love the interactive sneak peeks a window seems to provide.

Please remember to put WT154 in your keywords section and post a link back here. We'd all love to see your work! Please limit your uploads to new creations...this is a challenge to get you creating new and fabulous things.

My Sample - Hey Chickie

waterchild12's design from WT85 - Mom's Birthday card

WT154 Gallery Submissions

Thanks for joining in today! Hope you have a fabulous day!

Thank you for posting this challenge, Julia. I might actually DO this one today! I haven't even put anything in my gallery since September. So I think it's definitely time to get back on track. I've missed you all!

These were actully from earlier, but though peoplemight like to see for ideas, I'll be making new after I get my "To-do" list done today. I love to use the challenges as extra incentive to finish my list before I play.

Default calendar with a window

Thanks for the push! I had these calendars with a ready made window. If I don't get these done it'll be NEXT YEAR! They are so perfect for this challenge!

Window in my Pocket

Feels good to finally play again... viva la day off!
