It's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge Time. Come and join us for a fun sketch this week.
My card was made with the Christmas Tree images from "priscillastyles". I printed out my trees on three different green designer papers and paper pieced them. I love to paper piece so this was fun for me to put together. One of the trees was "decorated" so I just used pearls and rhinestones to gussy it up!
My ribbon comes from an old Godiva Chocolate box that I have been hoarding forever. Someone where I used to work got a box one year for Christmas and saved me the ribbon!!! lol It is so pretty-looks like spun gold.
Used Martha Stewart Deep Edger Floral Vine and Flower Bed for the pieces behind the trees. The Trees are mounted on Spellbinders large scalloped nestabilities. Sizzx fancy corner dies are seen on the corners. The sentiment is recollections and the red glittered leaves are snippets off a larger branch from Micheal's floral dept.
Hope you can join us. Thanks for viewing my card today!

I feel like I'm in a winter wonderland Carol. My gosh, this is so, so, so BEAUTIFUL. I would love to live inside that scenery. You did a magnificent job with the paper piecing trees and all your sparkles and die cuts and punchez - Woo Hoo, I am all over this one. I, too, take beautiful ribbons off packages. Great minds think alike. Although, I don't know if you want your mind compared to mine, The Fruitflakezi!! LOL!! I predict 8.5 hours!! TFS!
