Hello again,
Over the last few days, I've been digging through, sorting and adding to my scrap bags, I keep large scraps in one box (if it doesn't come from a set) and smaller scraps in display books according to colour and finally anything smaller than a printed photo in plastic bags again according to colour. I decided that I was going to use some of the scraps up to make some Christmas cards, I dug out some of my Christmas tree dies and set to. I have extra trees left over which may make it onto more cards or maybe just gift tags.
I tried to use a mix of patterned or embossed, plain and they all have one sparkly glitter tree. I used some more scraps to die cut 'Merry' (3 times and layered on each card) and the star punch to finish them off.
What I used
6 White 5x7 card blanks (12.6x17.8cm)
White cardstock to emboss
Kaisercraft Diamonds and Crafts too Lattice embossing folders
Scrap papers and cardstock including metallics (some are 15+years old)
Marianne Design, Kaisercraft, Magazine freebie and Cottage Cutz tree dies
Memory Box Merry Script die
Nellie Snellen 'Christmas love' clear stamp
Marianne Design Star punch die
Clear embossing powder
Black, Cocoa, Orchid, and two blue inkpads
Adhesives: Double sided tape and PVA glue
I would like to enter these cards into:
Have a wonderful week

p.s. Physio is going well, I walked nearly 200m without the knee scooter, school holidays is on, and the number of kids giving me strange looks then questioning their Mums about that lady on a scooter is fun, last week one little boy in full meltdown screaming stopped, sniffed and ran to catch up with his Mum his eyes wide in surprise at a scooter being inside the shop by a lady.
Many thanks to my blogging friends and visitors who take the time to stop by and leave me a comment, I truly appreciate them all!

What a wonderful way to use up scraps and build your Christmas stash at the same time. A cute story about the little boy. Kids are always curious about the things they see. Glad you are doing so well.
GORGEOUS Christmas cards.
