Happy New Year! Did you bring it in with a bang? We went out to eat with friends and then headed to one of the couple’s homes for dessert and lively conversation while all the kids played wii. It was a very nice evening. Whatever your celebration last night, hope that your day is relaxing and filled with your favorite things. We’re just being lazy. Sweet hubby has a pot of chili in the crock pot, the girls have been playing all day. I’ve been hanging out and stamped a little.
I have these Urban Prairie die cut stickers that I got at Archivers last week. (I think this is my favorite Basic Grey pattern ever.) The base of my tree was formed with one of them. I was thinking about what would make the cutest leaves of the tree and thought about these Lable Two Nestabilities. (I got mine from Ellen Hutson, but when I went to get the link, it looks like they are temporarily out of stock. I know Ellen is doing inventory, so I’m sure she’ll have them back up for purchase soon!) First I stamped CHF‘s Pretty Pattern Backgrounder on Certainly Celery card stock, cut the large label and then a second nested shape. The layers are put on different thicknesses of dimensional foam for varigated height. The bird is from Kim Hughes Pretty Birds set. It’s colored with Copics and glittered. The bling on the tree is from Mark Richards. The sentiment tag is also a die cut from the same sheet of Urban Prairie stickers!
Have a restful, wonderful afternoon!
