The Teapot Challenge this week had me thinking Christmas in July and it also let me combine this with the Jingle Belles challenge of the week to make an aperture card.

Aperture cards are always fun . I don't know how you managed to centre those circle punches so well to make the little frames, but they look great - as do all the layered punched borders.

This is so darn cute I can hardly stand it. I love the rows and rows of lace and rick rack-so sweet. The way you did the Gingerbread windows is so creatively darling. What a great card filled with Gingerbread goodness!

Hi there friend! I am so sorry I am so late to comment! I had cookies in the oven! Snort! Don't I wish! This card is so fun! I knew we would be getting some cool gingerbread buddies to the teaparty but I didn't think we would get triplets! Whoda thunk! Ha! I love the sweet look of this and the ric rack, I mean frosting is the perfect finishing touch! I love the awesome layers of borders......so cool! Those are wee little gingerbuddies!
