Patchwork Pals front and back

Last year I bought a Patchwork Pals Christmas kit from QVC, thinking it would be a good idea to make a few quick cards ... and it remained in the box until this year.

In the kit were some fronts and backs for some of the characters, so I've used them in aperture cards, all of which have a glittered church on the righthand inside so it is seen through the aperature behind the character. I love the ones with backviews.

I apologise that the photos have been quickly done, but I need to spend time on making the cards.

And today I've put inserts into, bagged and labelled about 150 cards - I should take John's advice and do this when I've made about 20 so it's not such a big job - I hate all that, would far rather be actually making the cards.

It was seeing the challenge for week 32 on Oh Alice this morning: 'journey to the centre of the earth' - make a card with a window or a hole', that prompted me to remember these aperture cards that could be used with the fronts and backs of the characters. The cards are also for the other challenges listed underneath.
