Easy Scallop Heart Christmas Tree

This card has no stamping on the outside but I used TAC cardstock and red stickles so... This is one of those cards that you say "I wish I had thought of that" because I saw this made up at our local scrapbook store O'Dear What a Memory located between my hometown of Farmington Mo. and Ste. Genevieve, Mo. (where I grew up). The green cs was run through the cuttlebug with the swirls embossing folder, you then punch 3 sizes of scallop hearts. Run a small scrap of brown through the cuttle bug for the trunk. Use a piece of scarlet red cs cut at 3 3/4 and punch the holly Fiskars border punch along both edges. Now to make the tree, start at the bottom with the trunk, then the largest heart (inverted), on top of that the mid size heart and then the smallest heart. Put a star brad on top of the tree, decorate with stickles mount this on white base cs and a quick easy fun Christmas card is complete.

Happy Trails

Here is a card that I made a couple of weeks ago for one of my homebound patients. She is a horse lover so I thought this card would be perfect for her. I was happy to see that this stamp set was not on the discontinued list. This card did require a little extra postage to mail as I used "rope" around the top but it just finished the card perfectly. Going to be a fun day, going to take a class at a local scrapbook store O'Dear What a Memory with my BFF. The class is "Inchies" so I will post our finished creations. Just a quick update on DH, he had surgery again on April 16, and this time they successfully removed the impacted kidney stone. They left a stint in which is causing him great discomfort but that too will be removed on April 23. We are on the downhill slide of this "health experience".
