The Tree

Hi there! I spent most of the day with DH having tests done and filling out papers for a little surgery he is having. Finally a little stamping time!! lol This card is for two challenges. The sketch challenge that Theresa has over at Stamp TV and Joan's challenge over at Joan's Garden. To follow Selma's tutorial, make a tree the main focus and add a flourish. The tutorial was a lot of fun and if you would like to try it you can find it at Selma's blog. I really liked how this turned out and will be trying more in the future.


The stamps used in my card: Theresa's set "The Giving Tree" was used for the large tree and circle design. The little deer is from "Life is Good". The background trees are from "Follow Your Dreams". All stamps are from Gina K. Designs .

Hope your week is going well and thanks for stopping by.

Hi Geri! Love your "Deer" card! I see you have my very favorite photo for your header! Hope DH has smooth sailing through his proceedure. As for the salsa question you asked me, Costco has the best near the refridge section. You can also get a good one at Trader Joe's.
