Rose's holiday card reminded me of a sled I received in a bag of extras from an eBay seller. I only received one sled so I had to make the most of it. I admired how Rose created an outdoor winter scene with a peek through a window into a cozy indoor scene with a Christmas tree & glowing lights. I wanted to do a similar scene. My changes: brick EF, dies, snowflakes, sled, used a window box.
Alphabet Challenge - Letter H: home, holidays, holly, Handsome Hunter CS, Hearth & Home Thinlits, and hemp thread for the bonus challenge to use an embellishment that starts with H.
Had so much fun putting this together.
Thanks Rose for inspiring me again!
Thanks for having a look. Edit: Gave this card to my friend Jan.

A most excellent challenge card and also a warm and welcome Christmas card. I love the scene inside the house with the tree and the pretty valance, and also the window box. The vintage sled outside is beautiful and brings back great memories.

luv how you did the greenery and xmas balls in the window box and the background and snowflakes. your bow and sequin bling add a nice touch of sparkle.

I still love that die. Love what you've done with it as well. Very Christmas-y and delightful. I can't think about Christmas in March, but I'm glad I stopped to check out this card. It definitely personifies the holiday season.
