Christmas card club challenge 19...Christmas Trees

 this weeks challenge was set by Zoe....


I have used  carnations craft dies from last year the tree and all the baubles and the parcels...the sentiment is an old tattered lace stamp...it was hard to find something small enough to fit in the door panel...but its amazing what I find in my craft room when I start looking...

I am away in Hay at the moment so keep your fingers crossed for the weather...

Do pop round and see the other girls in the club the links to their blogs are on my side bar...
