Yeah, it's Bah! Humbug! day again and as this post goes live I will be travelling back from Newquay. I think I must have been toooooooooo excited about my Encaustic Art course and my holiday when thinking about this week's challenge, because to start with I was working on the wrong theme. I blame Irene for this and Max did give me permission to thump her, but it's a bit too far to travel up to Sunderland really. So with time running out and packing still to do I got to work on the correct theme for the week.
Luckily after seeing some ribbon weaving on Chrissie's blog Simply One of a Kind a little while ago I had already started to make a card featuring a door and a ribbon woven wreath. Having done similar cards before I had an idea of the layout and how it would work out. Last year I did a Messy Rabbit Christmas version and a New Home card.
The ribbon weaving just makes the card a little more special. When I decide who the card is for I will personalise it by putting their house number in the centre of the wreath.
Hope you will find time to join us at Bah! Humbug! this week. Christmas is getting quite close now and I am just so thankful that I've made a card or two every week since last January. This Christmas will be so much more relaxing. I may even have time to make one of those amazing Advent Calenders with all the numbered drawers - hmmmmmm maybe not! Don't forget to check out the work of my teamies and of course our Guest Designer Jenny, who I'm sure will have done another stunning creation.
Have a great weekend.

Fantastic ribbon weaving - yet another thing that you have mastered and I really must try LOL!
I loved your earlier door cards and I love this one too. I especially like how you've embossed all the panels and the letterbox to give a realistic look. Noticed the poor devil who lives there hasn't got any mail though ... ahhhhhh shame. Maybe 'no-mates Max' lives there LOL! **wink**
Luv'n'Stuff
