Lets get Shabby........Challenge No 6......

Its that time of the month for another wonderful challenge over at 'Lets get Shabby'......Of course this months challenge is to make either a layout or something to do with Christmas......As I (along with many others) LOVE this time of year, I jumped straight in.....I have had this little chipboard stand for ages, so decided to make a little decorated canvas for it......I have a gorgeous antique wooden table in the entry and it looks just perfect on it...... I decided to just 'age' the chipboard stand a little as the colourings seemed to work perfect as it was....
I have used a printed photo that I have always loved and some old sheet 'christmas' music which I have aged even more with glimmer mist. I have also covered a brad in the same papers. The red and cream lace and the tickets are all vintage.........I have used a string of beads to frame the whole stand.........I loved doing this so once again thanks to all the DT for the inspiration.........
Here is my take.........
Thanks heaps for looking.......
Cheers....
luv marg xxxx
