Edited to answer a question...
IT'S FRIDAY! You know, in my world, that does not mean a whole lot... Each day runs into the next when you Home School your children. I honestly wouldn't have it any other way though! I love spending (most of the time) my days with my children.This week's Bloggers Challenge is a SKETCH CHALLENGE. (See below) I just recieved a Stampin' Up! order and HAD to use my new Thoughts and Prayers Stamp Sets. Do you ever think you need your head examined? Well...I often think I do. I cut this tree out - then stamped it on RED STICKY STRIP and cut it out. Then taped it down and added MICRO BEADS. How CRAZY is that!?!? I do really like the way it looks in real life though...but not sure I like it so much I would want to duplicate it! LOL
Here are the details of my card...
Stamp Set: Thoughts and Prayers by SU
Cardstock: Barely Banana, Handsome Hunter, Urban Praisrie Basic Grey DP, Whisper White
Accessories: Red Sticky Tape in 8 1/2x 11 sheets, Microbeads, Pearl Brads by K&Company, 1/16th hole punch, Vanilla 5/8th ribbon, Paper Piercing Tool, Sponge, Primas, Glue Dots

THANK YOU for your kind comments!!! The answer to this question is NO trees went into the garbage! I accidently did cut TWO branches off (the side ones) BUT with the Red Sticky Tape, I taped them down, lined them up and then put the micro beads over it. You can not tell. You couldn't even tell once I pieced it back together. :)

Great card, Chris!
Very pretty creation and subtle sentiment. Love it!
This turned out so well Chris! What a lot of detail you added with the tree designed the way you made it! I can't imagine doing all that with the sticky strip, it's not one of my favorite things to work with.
Your card is just lovely!
Have a good day today!
Hugs!
Iknow what you mean I have some embellishments that I went crazy with but not something i want to ever repeat. Great card though!
This is pretty, a glamourous card with lots going on. Love it.

First, that is my favorite new set from SU! Second, I cant believe you cut that tree out not once, but twice! It is gorgeous! Kimm
WOW!! This is just Beautiful!!!
Chris,
Truly an exquisite card. Your cards are always such an inspiration to me. I've been a little down this week and for some reason this card has brightened me up immensley! thanks for sharing it.
That tree is amazing! Fabulous job with this sketch.
Chrissy - this is wonderful. That was a lot of work with the tree, but it is beautiful - I love it.
Love it!
Spectacular! With the beads, I bet it's even prettier in person! Have to give you a lot of credit for cutting out that tree....not once, but multiple times.....I can see why you are not anxious to duplicate it!!
What a blessing this card was, Chrissy! Thanks so much for sharing it! I gladdened my heart!
It's gorgeous!

That is a great card! I love how you cut out the tree! That is a great set for get wells, sympathy, and encouragement! Good luck with all those cute kiddos!
WOW, Chrissy...this is sooo fabulous!!! Lots of work here but sooo worth all your efforts!!! This set is on my wish list, for sure!!!
Hi Chrissy, Wow, this card is truly stunning!! And then to read how you used a technique that required cutting it out twice. AMAZING. I love cutting things out, and I have mega patience, but I am still in awe of your work!! No one else has asked, so I will......So, how many trees ended up in your garbage can that day?? A little slip here, and a little slip there, and you've lost an entire branch!. Now I read where you get to spend time cuddling babies. I am soooo jealous. Keep up the good work and kuddos on being a wonderful friend. Linda S. in NE
