I've spent all morning achieving practically nothing except making old unloved card fronts into these two. I've even lost a fully-filled windowbox, because I was able to get two scenes from my unloved Hometown front, which was made using Monday's TLC for the sky, with weathered wood and Delicata gold...but can't make the second one up since the window box went AWOL.
The one on the left uses SU's card front builder dies, and had a smudged sentiment when I made four of them for an early MIX challenge this year. It's a Brusho background, and then just die-cuts. I trimmed it to get rid of the sentiment, and then inspired by Niki, used gold line stickers to create my window. Wasted a lot of time trying to make curtains, and in the end just stuck it over the snowflake piece which I wanted to use up before it got torn or damaged. The other card is Hometown Greetings layered with a Memory Box die, and inspired by Kathy LeDonne I cut my card front up and stuck it behind a window. Now to find the missing window box - but lunch calls first.

You turned both these unwanted pieces into elegant winter cards. I especially like the white one on the right with just the touch of greens . . .although the silver snowflake bg on the left certainly is eye-catching . . . Really - both are beautiful!!

I love both of these cards! Such great details, I especially like soft scene on the right and the partial star peeking out on the left! And to think they were saved from the "unloved" bin! Woo hoo! Faved.

Aghhhh no notification. Sabrina these cards are so beautiful. I would never have guessed they had a bad beginning! I'm so glad you persisted, both are precious.

I know what you mean about spending an large part of a day only making 1 or 2 cards. Oh how I know that....These are super stunning window scenes Sabrina. It is great when we find a way to salvage old cards that we start that get messed up and still make them work so beautifully. So glad Niki and Kathy were able to inspire these so you could get them on cards.
