BBTB2 Window to My World challenge

I'm getting a head start on my Christmas cards this year.  When our very talented DT sister, Brenda, asked us to create a project using a window cut from any Cricut cartridge I knew exactly what I was going to make.  I used the window from the Christmas Solutions cartridge.  My wreath in the window came from the same cartridge.  I decided it would look best as a shaped card so I used the shadow cut and welded two of them together using my Gypsy.  Whenever I make a shaped card I place another shadow cut  on top of the base before placing the other layers on.  This hides the fold and makes the card more sturdy.  I cut the card base and layers at 5.25".  The wreath is cut at 2.25" and I added a few red rhinestones for a little bling.  My sentiment is from Cardz TV Stamps.
