Shabby advent....'Let's Get Shabby' challenge

It's ages since I entered a challenge, in fact it is very rare I do, but on 'Let's Get Shabby' this month, the challenge is to use the title of your favourite Christmas song on your creation. You can see the challenge details on their blog.http://letsgetshabby.blogspot.com/2010/11/challenge-18.html#comments


Anyway, I had bright red advent calendar and decided to alter it for my niece, who loves the 'shabby' look. The title of the song, 'Oh Christmas Tree' is on the star at the top, hope it is visible enough to fit the criteria.




I had a whale of a time altering it, and did take some pics of it when it was bright red, but just can't find them! Never mind, sure you can imagine it.......... That's it for now......
