This card is one I have been making with the bits and pieces I have gathered since my holiday with my daughter Lovely Linda...I am now addicted and find such pleasure in card making although am only in the very beginning stages!
Thank you for looking and for your comments!

You have done a beautiful job on this! I love your layout and colors.... wonderful image! You've been "taught" by the best so if she inherited her talen from you I know you are a natural at this and can't wait to see all your work! It's an addicting craft.... and expensive... but so rewarding!!! So glad you have opened a gallery and let us all see your great work!!!

Lesley, welcome to the family of addicts!!!! This is where we go when we don't want intervention or a cure!!!! I'm so happy to hear you uploaded your very own gallery. Your daughter, Lovely Linda, was sure to let us all know. This is SO BEAUTIFUL and a perfect card for the holidays! It's hard to believe you're all the way over in New Zealand and I can still grab a peek!! Ain't life wonderful???? TFS!!!

Leslie, this tree is really pretty. Did you use chalks? The dimension and colours are wonderful. You have a great start on your Christmas cards! Won't it be easy for you and Linda to shop for each other now?
