A Charlie Brown Christmas Tree

I continue to work my way through my Christmas stamp collection, having added about six or seven stamps to the "store for a year and get rid of" box in the past few days. This plan to purge is succeeding in its early stages...now to follow through completely. I can do this!!!!

Today's card uses the spindly tree from Clearly Besotted's Tiny Trees set.

A hint of glitter glue on the star adds just a little something to this card that's big on white space. Note that the sentiment itself becomes the ground for the tree, adding to the unity of the few elements on the card.

This started off life as a one-layer card, but it needed something. That's when I decided to pop up a panel. The popped panel uses Jennifer McGuire's suggestion of craft foam, and I must say the solidity of it gives the whole card a nice feeling of quality lacking when just dimensionals are used. Yay, Jennifer!

And now for a T-shirt I need:

To adult, or not to adult? That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous adulting or to simply curl up alone in a comfy chair, sip coffee, and read a book while avoiding all pretense of responsibility and housework...I don't know.

Excuse me while I buy another book on my Nook....
