This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 564 - Rags to Riches where we were to use something that we had lying around from another project or a failed project. Mine was the cording and die cut which I had for a previous challenge but did not like the way it looked so I didn't use it as well as the card. I had stamped the branch once and was going to use it but could not decided how to use it until today. I added 2 more stamped branches and like it much better along with adding the die cut. This is also for today's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 355 - Trim the Tree. I stamped the greeting on the front in cherry cobbler and the branches, sentiment on the inside and envelope in wild wasabi. Well the tree is trimmed and the ornaments are hung. It will soon be time to take them all down again but for now this is what I came up with today. Hope you like it. I am so miffed because I am finished labeling all my cards and have a stamp set I bought just for this holiday and have not even had an opportunity to ink it up. Hopefully tomorrow's color challenge will work. Now off to work I go.

Pretty, simple card with that wonderful, timeless stamp set. You are so smart to do your insides at the time you make the cards; I always end up having to go back and stamp the insides before I send out my cards : ( I must take a lesson from you!
