Bah Humbug - Tree Challenge


After a week's vacation (to meet in person, how fun!) the gals at Bah! Humbug! came up with a tree theme for challenge #7. I must say I missed the challenge terribly the week they were gone. Can't wait to hear about their trip. Anyway, I'd been toying with this design using my Cricut Design Studio for some time and finally decided to use it in a very simple and straightforward way. I used Winter Woodland and Storybook to build my tree and cut it in mirror card stock. The white mat is embossed with the Holly Ribbons 5 x 7 Cuttlebug folder with the corners embellished with a MS Deco Fan corner punch. One more gold mat on a premade card and all I had to do was add some gold adhesive beads. This I just might make multiples of. Don't forget, if you love Christmas, Bah! Humbug! is the place to be. There's a new challenge every Friday (UK time so if you're up, we US gals can sometimes sneak a peek Thursday night. WooHoo!
