LAST APPEARANCE OF TIPSY TREE

Hi Everyone

Well hubby is having a lovely birthday .. .. .. with the exception of his football team losing today!!!

He has come back from the match frozen and a tad deflated .. .. but never mind we will soon cheer him up. 

Baby boy and I are taking him out for a cheap and cheerful Indian meal.  Love this restaurant as we  are allowed to take our own drinks with us so it never costs the earth .. .. and the food is always scrummy!!!

My share today is a card I have made for my Mum for Christmas.  It "may" be the last Christmas card of 2010 .. .. .. but it is definitely the last use the lovely Tispy Tree is going to get for a little while.  I have really loved this stamp set and used it lots.  In fact you are probably sick of seeing it LOL!!!.







This used:

Image:  Woodware Clear Stamps "JGCL529" Tipsy Tree
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat
Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Distress Ink:  Crushed Olive
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Diamond Stickles
Gem, Brad and Cord from the stash box

And there we are!!!

Right, time to get myself looking decent ready to hit the town.  No snow here .. .. just a sprinkling this morning first thing .. .. but it is still very cold.

The tree is still not up!!!   What are we like ???.. .. some people have had their's up for over two weeks already and mine is in it's box on the landing at the top of the stairs!!  Shame on me!!! Hopefully it will be up tomorrow as I can stay in all day and play "house"!!!  Yay!!!

I don't know about you but I have entered the "storm before the calm" period of Christmas LOL!!!. 
Have a lovely evening everyone and if you have snow then stay safe in it.

Love

    Hello Jules well what a gorgeous card, I could never tire of seeing your Tipsy Tree.
    Do enjoy your meal this evening.
    No snow I am hoping it is missing us this time round but it is bitterly cold.

    I love this card and I am sure your mum will too. We have had our tree for about a week now but can't wait to get it down. It all seems to take up far too much space and I can't dust properly... Many thanks for your kind words and comments.Hugs Nicola xx

    I've enjoyed your tipsy tree and hope it doesn't get forgotton next year. Lovely soft colourway.
    Your Christmas tree is gorgeous. Ours is still in the loft - where it has been for 2 years. I wonder if it will get an outing this year.
