oh christmas trees! oh christmas treeeeeeeeeeeees!

ok, sorry, i promise to stop singing if you'll look at xmas cards five through nine, which feature... ta daaaaaaaaaaa! ...christmas tree shapes...filled with rub-ons, buttons, prima flowers, epoxy stickers and leftover chewing gum! (ok, not really chewing gum--eeeeeeeew!--i just wanted to see if you were paying attention.) (btw: if you did read that and/or this, well done! i'm just sorry it's not a bit more interesting!) this semi-homemade card lark is fab, i tell you, and so flexible, you can do anything! plus it's quick: i made 10 cards on sunday, for a total 14 so far. (that's 36 to go, for those of you scoring at home!) i will show them in smaller groups over the next few days, kind of like a card-making mini-series... ('member those?) ...ladies and gentlemen, may i present, richard chamberlain and jane seymour in...

CARDS, part two:

(supplies are for all 5 cards; if you want to know a specific product, email or leave a comment, but there's nothing particularly exotic here: patterned paper: basic grey, dcwv, anna griffin, provocraft; rub-ons: ki memories, scrapworks, american crafts; foil stickers: sandylion; flowers: prima; epoxies: love elsie, autumn leaves, ek success, sue dreamer, michaels' dollar spot; other: noel & holly buttons from michaels...last year... foam tape, jewelcraft gems, scraps of red cardstock, colorbox inks, sharpie pen)

totally obnoxious, gratuitously braggy ps: didja see that yesterday marah johnson (of lovestruck fame) left me a comment?! she liked the card i made using her super-gorgeous pink velvet flower brad (it's the bottom card in the post below...the one w/the eiffel tower in it...) and no, i didn't link it to her or anything, so i don't know how she found it, but HOW COOL IS THAT?! :)
