Using three trees from the Whimsical Trees Stamp Set.

Being Labor Day weekend, we definitely did labor yesterday.  We did some switching of the furniture.  The downstairs furniture came and out in the garage and the furniture in the storage unit went downstairs.  We are trying to put off the inevitable of purchasing new furniture.  Alyssa came down Saturday and ended up staying overnight to help us on Sunday.  It took the four of us to get it all done.  We did enough yesterday, so today was a day of rest.  We earned it.

I finally got time to play with Whimsical Trees stamp set.  I'd say it's a Christmas set with a non-traditional twist.  The paper does not scream Christmas at all.  Maybe that's why I like it.  

These trees are just adorable in my eyes.  I always wished I could get a set of three tall, skinny trees to decorate my house with. Instead,  I'll have to settle for these trees decorate cards with.

Behind the trees, I did use the blending brushes and Mint Macaron ink pad to color the Basic White paper.  It was just a bit too plain.  That's what the added Genial Gems are for too.  

It's also the first time using the Frayed Grosgrain ribbon.  I've seen so many cards using the ribbon with in a zig zag pattern and I finally broke down and copied it.  Unfortunately, mine is just about a half inch too short, but it still looks just fine.  With my luck, if I redid it, the DSP paper would rip and that means starting over.
