It's hard to believe that in another week I'll be wandering around our country neighbor's yard looking over the vast selection of Christmas trees. Over the years I've moved away from the traditional blue spruce and enjoyed the soft needles of the frasier fir. There has been a few years I've found the perfect concolor fir, with their longer soft needs and citrus fragrance. I'd buy them every year, but the folks we buy our trees from seem to cut down the larger concolors, which are just too big for our small but cozy living room. Each year we try to go early enough so we get the best choice, then we bring it home and let it stand in a bucket of water until I'm ready for it to be brought inside to be loved and adorned. There's something so special about a real tree. It's really not that much bother, although my husband isn't as young as he used to be and appreciates it when I pick out a smaller tree. A few years ago I found a concolor fir that I fell in love with, but it was a bit on the big size. Not just it's height, but the trunk of the tree was huge, dense, and solid. I really thought he was going to have a heart attack as he struggled to get that tree inside the house. I certainly won't do that to him again.
So, until I trim my tree, I'm continuing to trim my holiday cards. Today's project is a perfect example. This card was shared at a couple different events back in September.
Using the Ornament Keepsakes Bundle made this card way too easy! Sprucing it up with a little pewter embossing powder and that ever lovin' stripes embossing folder was all it needed. Gotta love it!
You just have to touch that sparkling pewter!
