Today, Melissa is sharing on her blog tips and tricks on creating windows in your projects that contain scenes to tell a story.
“One of my most favorite Christmas memories is visiting Downtown Salt Lake City, UT each year for the Christmas parade. My mom made it a very special experience and it was the official start to the holiday season. I remember walking by the big picture windows out in front of the ZCMI Center, where each year they’d have a grand celebration where they’d reveal their magical picture windows, dressed up with all things sparkly, bright, joyful, and whimsical! My cards today are little examples of picture windows, where I’ve selected themes to go behind each window, each telling a story of Christmastime. This is such a fun way to celebrate the season and use your favorite stamp sets and dies in a creative way. Stop by my blog for another example.”
