O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!
In beauty green will always grow
Through summer sun and winter snow.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!
Thank you so much Audrie and Angela for this weeks Inspiration Challenge. I believe I own stock in Williams and Sonoma (at least my husband thinks so) *giggle* I loved the beautiful deep green of the Bay Leaf Wreath and Garland! http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/bay-leaf-wreath-garland/?pkey=e%7CPine%2BChristmas%2BWreath%7C95%7Cbest%7C 0%7C1%7C24%7C%7C1&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-NoMerchRules-_- It would look marvelous on our mantel this year. And this beautiful silhouette from the SNSS September Release (Christmas Silhouettes) would be perfect as a banner under that gorgeous Garland ~ what do you think ladies? I'm putting it on my list today! Thank you for the inspiration : ) Simple rustic style *sigh* It's going to look awesome with our southwestern interior decor.
Thanks for taking a peek today.
Sidenote: Some have asked about the holes on the edge of the card or called it a border punch. Actually it's a Spellbinders die called, A2 Fancy Ribbon Threader. I folded my A2 card stock with the fold up top and then laid it on the die (just underneath the cutting line). Don't go over or you'll end up with 2 pieces. Hope this answers your questions. : )

Wow Susie!! Gorgreous and LOVE all your details. How did you get the border holes? Must be some kind of tool. Your ribbon threader is wonderful along with your neutral colors, bling and beautiful tree. A real amazing work of art. TFS

Susie, here we go again as neighbors! I can't answer your ? though since I can't click onto the link. Bummer.....Same thing happened to me and I went back and re-did it. Beautiful tree with the diamonds and I love the sentiment underlined! Perfect country ribbon for an accent~
