(2) Is for the tuesday Teapotters; MMTPT330, and to amke a card using wrapping of some sort or gift wrapped, I chose the tree with gifts under...all wrapped!
(3) is for our Twisted Sisters; TSC1128..and the challenge is for Something Homey, or warmth..again my tree is at home in the living room, all decorated...
And lesson well learnt.....that is when you put your gems on your tree...do it after you cut out your oval in your bigshot..or cutting machine you use...
lolol...mine got squished...but left them ..cause it worked out..they don't shine as much...but then thats cause I didn't plug them in yet...will wait till dark.....lol.
My card is 5-1/2 x 5-1/2 didn't plan it that big...just how it worked for the tree, and didn't plan with the mesh...but that worked out good too...
Thanks for looking... Merry Christmas to all....

Jan, what a beautiful tree. I've actually heard of people deliberately smashing their gems in the Big Shot, LOL. I really like the look! The gold netting and soft organza ribbon are wonderful decorative additions too.

This is fabulous! The image is gorgeous, the gold netting was a stroke of genius, and I'm a sucker for beautiful bows. Love it!

You sure do know how to decorate a Christmas tree, Jan!! Love those gems (even with the accidental squishing, the ornaments look great!) Using the netting gave your card a whole new dimension, and when you topped it all off with a bow, you put the cherry on top!! Terrific card!
