The Craft Barn Alpha challenge this time is the letter 'L' but the twist is, we have to use a window. ' Lean' is my word. The only craft I am managing at the moment is this challenge - I am determined not to miss a letter! I must say 'thank you' to the Craft Barn for choosing me in their top 5 for my last page. Its the second time I have made the top 5 and its a real honour!
The main image is from The Quest which is part of the A Little Bit Magical stamp set by Sheena Douglass. The brick stamp I used on the window is from Enchanted Doorway from the same set. The image is coloured with Promarkers and I stamped it with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The background is Antique Linen, Tumbled Glass and Mowed Lawn Distress Ink and the bricks are Vintage Sepia Versafine. I used a plastic template for the window - I don't know what make it is and I had forgotten I had it. The letters are Cuttlebug. If you have the time, please pop over to The Craft Barn to see the other fab entries and design team pages. I am still having trouble visiting your blogs - I am so sorry! Off to the hospital with my hubby today and Friday my daughter is having her baby by cesarean as it is breech. I am so looking forward to being a Grandma!! Thank you for visiting me, I really appreciate it - your support is wonderful! Have a fabulous day. Take care, Christine xx

Your page is wonderful, Chris. It really does look like a window, leading outside to the landscape, creating such depth.
I hope your hubby's appointment was helpful and that all goes well on Friday. How exciting!
Wonderful page...love what you did with the window aspect.
It's a great image you've got looking through your window!

Gorgeous page, lovely image. I hope all went well yesterday. MMx
A lovely L page. What's nice about these challenges is it encourages you to dig out old stuff that you'd almost forgotten about and use it.

I love your page and depiction - you have created a lovely relaxed/wistful atmosphere. I hope all had gone well and that you wont be too busy to do this next letter.

I think Letter L with a window probably would have stumped me so I'm extra impressed by what you've come up with. It looks like a relaxing place to be!
Wonderful L word with a window - great scene. I just could not make this one - boo hoo!
