Hello All!

I North Carolina, we have Long-leaf Pine Trees. It means the

needles are long, like about 4-5 inches long…some are even longer!

With that said…I chose to make a Christmas Tree Card!

This is a close-up of the tree…love that it has texture!

I use a sketch challenge to make a Christmas Card…I mail out about 125 Cards!

I NEED to start early! .

The good thing is, when I make a Card for a Challenge

I make 2 at a time!

Hey, you have to cut the cardstock in half, so why not make 2!
