Well, todayI thought I would share one of the last few Christmas cards I created real quick.. And considering we finally have our Christmas Tree up, not decorated yet lol, but up, this one just felt appropriate... 8-)
This is I/O's Trees For Sale Image! It's not a super fancy image but I just Love it! 8-) Reminds me of when I was a little girl and my Mom and Dad and I would drive up to the Snow and cut our own Christmas Tree. My Mom would always bring a big thermos of Hot Cocoa.. It was so much fun and has always been one of my most fondest Christmas memories..8-)
Well I colored up my Pretty Christmas Trees with my trusty Copics, added a touch of Stardust Stickles and embossed the edges with the help of my Score Pal for a nice clean look. For my Mats and BG layers I chose a combination of Forest Green CS from my stash and some Darling dp's from Basic Grey's Figgy Pudding collection. To finish it all up I stamped my I/O sentiment onto a strip of matted up White CS from my stash with Memento Tuxedo Black, added Darling layered die-namic snowflakes topped with a cute little button and tied up with some Yummy Bakers twine from MAD Stamper Finds. 8-)
Hope you all Have a Wonderful, Festive day & thanks so much for dropping in!
This is such a cute image with those adorable poinsettia pots on the ground! I love your story of going to find your Christmas tree too. Those are the cherished memories that we carry with us our whole lives.
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas day sounds like it will be fun! I have the highest regard for firefighters and what they do, and I'd love to share a meal with them one day myself! Enjoy, and have yourself a merry little Christmas my friend! {hugs}

Wow! this is stunning Shannon! I love the scene that you've created. Your colouring is awesome and love the paper and delish snowflake. And it twinkles so prettily !!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful memory, going to cut down the tree. I have so many wonderful memories of Christmas too. My parents made it a really magical time. I should write them down!

ReplyDeletelove this Shannon! Just read the Charlie Brown Christmas book and it reminds me of the kids looking for their tree!
ReplyDeleteDelightful creating! TFS!
Oooooh, love this one! IO stamps are some of my favorites! This is such a great Christmas scene and one we can all relate to. I love the lights strung over top and how you shaded and added sparkle at the base of the trees. I just love coming here. I always go away smiling!
