Tuesday Morning Sketches #737 - Annual Anything Goes Challenge

 Hello!  Thank you for stopping by!  We made it to the end of the year and to our Annual Anything Goes challenge.  We only do this once a year and it's a chance to show off your other crafty talents. You can make a card, sure!  But you can share a handmade ornament or a handmade quilt.  

My project features some fantastic dies from Tonic Studios.  The monthly Craft Kit from October, called Jingle Bells, Beveled Star and Decorative Christmas Bauble.  I decided this would dress up my front window...  And I was dumb and didn't take close up pictures of each of my decorations before hanging them up.  I'm being honest when I say I started on these a month ago and just got them finished last night!  It's been crazy around here.


So this is right and left view of my window.  Looks a little weird, I know, but gives you an idea what I've done.  I made 4 large baubles, 2 beveled stars and 6 little baubles.


Stepping back, here's my window in during the day.  Charlie is his favorite spot.  I think he likes the ornaments, too.


Here's the hard part, sharing how cool this looks when it's lit up!  Really hard to appreciate how pretty this looks.  


Here's the outside view.  I think I should have turned off the inside light off and it would show better.  I'm also getting the reflection of my neighbor's blue Christmas lights.

But there you have it - my Anything Goes Christmas decorations!
