Trendy Trees

Happy Good Friday!

I hope you're enjoying today, and I am not working (at my 'other' job today)...so I was stamping. My daughter had school today, and I decided to do some stamping since I haven't been doing a lot.

I was working on some chipboard tags, which I shipped off to someone (Lois in NJ) who is doing a craft fair, and needed some ideas...so I stamped and decorated a couple of tags for her, and foolishly forgot to take photos....

As I was stamping and playing with this set, I thought it needed some decorating (stamping) on the Old Olive Cardstock. So, I stamped the leafy tree around the edges...and it started to look lacy! Don't you think? And then I stamped the tree trunks first, and then the trees. I used the Stamp a Majig, but I don't think you HAVE to use it, but it does help.

The rosette was made using the wide stitched ribbon and using linen thread, I did a running stitch in the edge of the ribbon and pulled and tied it. Adding a build a brad with the dotted swirl tree in the center of the brad. Simple Card, quick to make !!
(well, sort of quick, the rosette does take some 'sewing' skill, but it isn't hard!!! don't be scared. My biggest threat is not being able to thread the needle sometimes because I can't see the eye!!!! lol)

PS My Apologies for not posting something since last Sunday!!! I think I am in withdrawals!
