Christmas Tree Wishes

 Beautiful Christmas tree of words from Papertrey Ink!

This is the final card ... after trying 9 different backgrounds! Just love this embossing folder ... All Star Burst from Simon Says Stamp.

Here are the 9 different backgrounds I was trying ... started with vellum - but thought it got a bit lost on it, the red die cut stars - too dark!, gold die cut stars - too similar to the tree ... and on it went.

I added Nuvo Glitter Gloss to the stars on the embossing folder, and glossy accents to the star at the top of the tree.

Merry Christmas wishes to you ...

    A silent night,

        a start above,

            a blessed gift of hope and love.

A blessed Christmas to you.

Book Club Christmas

We had our book club Christmas dinner this week. The colour theme this year was blue and white.

A friend gifted me the Papertrey Ink Storybook Christmas which was perfect timing. I changed up one of the book titles for each person's name so I could use them as Place Names. 

Quite a mission ... to get 13 place names, I stamped and die cut 117 pieces, then glued them all together. But it was worth it!

Serendipitously I had blue place name holders in shape of a bauble.

Here's the table decorations.
