This first one is my favorite, probably because of its simplicity. The fir trees were made by punching out a strip of DSP with the Scallop Border punch, then using a square punch at an angle to create sections of the tree with 3, 4, and 5 scallops. Then the sections get layered, and a tree trunk gets added. Voila! Instant fir tree! If I do this again, I hope to remember to sponge the scallops so they're more defined.

ETA: I thought I may have seen the fir trees somewhere while "blurfing" (blog surfing). Luckily, Adela jogged my memory that she recently posted a tutorial, which you can see here. Thanks, Adela!

#2 is my favorite! tray festive!
They're all pretty. I like the first one, of course I like no stamping. Well, just a little! Your snowflake cards are really cute though. Lots of neat color.
I really like #2, too...great minds think alike, huh rush?
and what a neat idea for the trees.
