Good Morning, today marks the start of another ABC Christmas Challenge. It is hard to believe that we are already more than half way through the year. This week we have reached the letter O and our theme is
O for Open it Up
We want you to see you decorate not just the outside of your card but the inside too.
We have two fabulous sponsors for this challenge who have generously offered prizes for some of our lucky participants.

who are offering
and
who have offered up this gorgeous selection of holiday goodies.
I decided to try something a little different this week,
I've made a trifold, shaker, window card. Try saying that 3 times fast. For the main image on my card, I have used this sweet little James bear who can be seen through the window behind a mountain of snow.
Here is a close up of the image.
On the inside panels, I have added a sentiment and a panel to write a little message to the recipient.
This card did have its challenges (lining up the window cut outs and running out of
co-ordinating papers) but I do love the end result. That said, I think that it will be a while before I try another one of these. I do hope though that it has inspired you a little bit and that you will join our challenge. I look forward to seeing your wonderful creations.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
