The last Tuesday of each month, the Teapotters make cards to exchange. We call it a Tickle. Hee. I have the privilege of hosting the Tickle this month. It was great fun to write the story for this challenge. To read more about TWINKLE MCSPRINKLES and MAPLE SUGAR SOCKS, see MMTPT330 in the challenge forum. PLEASE join us!
Kittie (kittie747) inspired my card. Here is her card. I'm thankful for her tutorial but I obviously need A LOT more practice!
SPECIAL THANKS to SABRINA (cook22) for her extended patience, encouragement and technical support.

Oh, just delightful, Gabby. What a bummer that your camera didn't work, but your scan came out well. The tree reminds me of a couple of years when we used the tops of non-Christmas trees from the garden!! But we never had darling little gingerbread men like that. And what beautifully wrapped presents.
Thank you for being a great guest hostess this month.

Gabby, this is such a precious tree. You did a wonderful job with your branches. The gingerbread boys and packages are just precious. What a special treat for the recipient. Thanks for linking my card.

What an amazing piece of work this is! I cannot imagine cutting all of those delicate sprigs to do this. It turned into a lovely tree and I would not want to part with it. Love the cute gingerbread ornaments! Happy Thanksgiving!

WOW...what a tree! I can imagine you had to ice your hand after punching all these "ferns" to create this full and lush tree. The effect is magnificent.

This is so cute Gabby! I love the sparkly ornaments and the gingerbread men. One year I decided to put real gingerbread men on our tree (I was about 16) and they looked so cute and gave the whole room a spicy gingery smell. Well..I didn't figure in the weight on the 5-6" cookies...the next morning they had all fallen off the tree!
