Like most people who have a blog I am not the prolific writer like they are . I have a job and have not small children, I have 5 dogs who keep us somewhat busy, I try and do my craft things on the week-end since that is the only real spare time I have I could work on something every night, but that is not how I work I found an idea for this years cards for Christmas at
Scallop Tree With Dawn. After seeing her cute tree I new I was going to have to make some for this year. I used to buy cards all the time and rarely got them mailed now that I have been making my own they get mailed I am up to making only 30 cards, but there are some days when that is more than enough. This year followed her basic instructions, but created my own scallop on my cricut by using SCAL, made the tree shape she had suggested and just had an absolute ball making them, labor intense ,but that is the way I work... Made the last few unfortunately using a cute printed paper I had left over from my daughters advent tree I had made her for a friend's new baby, only made 8 of them last year but one more this year oh well...anyway her are the pictures of the tree cut out in printed paper think it looks adorable no need to decorate. The first ones I made were just the green as Dawn had suggested, did some decorating using acrylic paint and Stickles in red, this one did not have the white acrylic on it to make it look like snow was on it ...but you get the idea. They were really fun now get to decorate the envelopes so the look just as Christmasy, also need to add a sentiment to inside have to come up with that yet. Have fun hope you enjoy the cards.
