Well for two mistakes you certainly have turned them around and created two fantastic cards Margaret, genius. I wish all my mistakes ended up like these, lol. The papers are gorgeous and there are so many die-cuts that you have assembled in to each scene, just fabulous.

Two super cards Margaret. We all have some of that card which we don't want to use. Sorry you lost your favourite pieces but you've got two great cards out of it. Christine x

They both look great! I love the inner circles showing a nature scene and a town. Santa and his reindeer look so cute. If you wouldn't say anything, no one would ever know but it shows how to make gold out of a boo-boo

These are both fantastic. I love all the embellishment's. Those hot air balloons look great. Hope you are able to replace the papers you cut up by mistake. Thst must have been so annoying after you got over the shock of realizing your mistake.

I'll echo Mrs. A...both are terrific. Your cards always have such wonderful detail, color & dimension. Even your mistakes turn out beautifully! The dp is gorgeous, so I hope you can salvage the bad cut & use the 'good' side in another project. TFS & Hugs
