Christmas Tree Card

Yes... Christmas is near. A little TOO near. Every year, I vow to 'start early'. It never happens, despite my best of intentions. In any case, last Friday, my friend Eunice came over to do a little carding. She is leaving for HK in Dec and well, her cards are to be in circulation this Friday. YEEPS! I am piles behind.

This Christmas Tree card is pretty simple. The trees are from It's Snow Time, a stampin' up set I bought a couple years ago and never inked up. Stickles for snow, and merry christmas ribbon (which, admittedly, Eunice and I went on an after-work run to Michaels in Richmond the previous night, followed by Won-Ton noodle soup, then Superstore, and then Daiso, then bubs - Bubble Tea that is! :P It was GREAT!) The Merry Christmas ribbon is from said shopping excursion.

NSR (non-stamping-related) Sidebar: Went to the opera for the first time this weekend. The opera. It was Eugine Onegin by Tchaikovsky, a story about unrequited love. (Cliche, right? LOL) Many, many old people. I can see how the opera is an acquired taste. Even having studied the history of opera, and a good number of operas in depth, down to memorizing the libretto (the words), the music, the acts and scenes, it was a stretch for me. I suppose it didn't help it was in Russian. But there were subtitles. It was a cool experience - thanks Gabriel! :)

That's all for now. More to come soon. :)
