The challenge was to use something wooden. I saw this little tree somewhere but neglected to save it so if it is your idea please let me know. I went hunting in the yard and found a little Buckthorn bush (It has the straightest branches). I wasn't sure how big to make the tree shape but finally decided on 2 x 5 1/2, score at 1/2" intervals. The background paper is from Mikes and the greeting is cut from a scrap of wrapping paper found on my desk.

This is one of the Sweetest Christmas trees I've ever seen, Sue! Love the little bell and gold cording at the top to deck it out! I like that panel of snow near the tree's trunk and your pretty starry card base~

Oh my goodness this is brilliant! Love that you went to your yard for the branch and love how you did the tree through the branch! Oh now how do you mail this one? Oh someone is just going to adore this wonderful card.
