Well, over the weekend I finally managed to get my Christmas tree out of the box! Actually decorating it didn't take all that long as I must have the skinniest, dwarfish looking tree ever. Now, it didn't look too bad in our old house as it was perched quite high up on top of a cabinet. We also had to trim the top of it off so we could fit a topper on it without it scrapping the ceiling.
It looked ever so small (minus it's top!) and sad sat on the floor here in the new house. The Hubster found it terribly amusing. I could have sworn it was bigger than that last year. I've spent the last few weeks purchasing new decorations for it (the old ones seem to have got lost in the move) but I've ended up with enough to fill two trees lol.
Anyhow, a stool and a couple of table clothes later, it will have to do.....for this year.
So, today I am sharing another card created for the Amazing Paper Grace team.
I didn't add a sentiment on this one, as I think it speaks for itself. What do you think?
The supplies used here are
* Amazing Paper Grace/Spellbinders, Chantilly Paper Lace - collection Coralines Chemise
* Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia
* First Edition Jingle All The Way premium paper pad
* Cream and gold foil cardstock
* Pearls from my stash
I have so fallen in love with the Chantilly Paper Lace collection. It has been so well designed that everything works so beautifully together, but it's nothing less than you would expect from the amazing Ms Feeken.
So my friends, that is my offering for you today.
Thank you for popping by and please stop by again soon for my next card for you.
Have a great day and enjoy your week.
