Lisa, I hope half a tree will do....better than none. Trees are my favorite thing about Christmas...anything with greenery, boughs, berries etc. I feel your pain. I didn't put up my main tree again this year (only a tabletop but it has all my old ornaments on it) as I won't have much company for Christmas. I do have my lime green tinsel tree and book tree up though. All my funky ornaments go on the tinsel tree.
This is for the following challenges:

Grandin Road has lovely things; their black/white harlequin always catches my eye. Thanks, Kia!
Yesterday's FS: Keep Christmas in your heart by embee46 at Splitcoaststampers
Super, growing gallery, Embee46. Can we know your first name? I took her layout and rearranged it a bit. I was influenced by a card on Pinterest.
Today's CAS: trees, as I said, my favorite thing. I still manage to buy a new ornament every year, even if it's just from Target. Love ornaments.
My process: I watched a video of Elizabeth St. Hilaire use a stencil with acrylic paint, printing on Joggles new sticker paper. I used mostly plain sticker paper for my prints, but this one is on printer paper. Simple process, I'm sure you'll see the stickers eventually. I used Golden open acrylic and some gold metallic. I thought 'why buy plain white stickers when I can cut plain sticker paper with dies?' Sometimes I'm frugal...mostly not!

The half tree is so creative and I love the look on this card with all the stars. We aren't putting up our tree this year either. I miss the tree but not the lugging to get it out of the garage and decorated. Maybe next year. Enjoy your table top tree and ornaments while I enjoy your card.

Very creative. Love the swirly/starry die.
We probably won't put up our big tree this year either. I will get out our pre-lit palm tree - it always gets noticed here on the snowy prairies. We're spending Christmas Day with our grandsons as both of their parents are firefighters and both work on the 25th. Shift work requires people to adapt...
