O little town of Bethlehem

This is a card I made last night, using the front aperture of a card received a couple of years ago and a picture from another one that I put underneath this. The addition of a piece of white and gold backing paper from my offcuts box and the card was complete.

This is another card for my CHNC challenge 40: for a male (if you haven't yet discovered my Christmas blog, please hop over there - I'd love to see you join in).

This is for:

Bah! humbug 39: nativity
Christmas stampin all year long: resist the temptation - no stamps at all
Jingle belles: peace on earth (peaceful scene)
Sparkles forum Christmas challenge 9: Christmas songs - O little town of Bethlehem
Paper players 66: LeAnne's musical theme - Christmas carol
My time to craft 159: musical medley
One stop craft 151: just for men - suitable for a male
St Luke's October: let's hear it for the boys - suitable for a male
Simply create 53: older than six months (everything used is more than six months old)
There's magic in the air Magical Monday: go green - no, it's not the colour green, but using recycled cards
Catch the bug: October anything goes
Southern girls 28: anything goes
Sew many challenges: anything goes
Penny's 63: anything goes
Simon says: anything goes
4 crafty chicks 57: anything goes
