Thanks for using the prompts April!  You have an awesome collection of cards. 

Having recently made cards that used "splattering", I need to look, because I bet I have that SU dots stamp or one like it.  I love the snow it made.  During Stamp Joy I was trying to watch the "live" video and make the card.  I set up my "splat box" in front of my laptop ... short side up, and of course splatters went right over the top, with a few on the screen and some on the keyboard.  So, for the next splattered card, I moved further in front of the laptop and made sure to have the higher side up.  I got splatters on my tee shirt and a few on my jeans!  After that I changed my shirt to one that I previously splattered, so as not to ruin another shirt!

I bought this tree die last year on sale and I hadn't used it yet so I thought it would be perfect for the green challenge. I ended up making four, trying different colored cardstock in different layers trying to find one I liked the best.

Great way to try out your greens Connie!  Your cards came out really nice.  I think we were on vacation when you posted.  I left a comment on my favorite with the wood background.  These look like a lot of work!  I always think die cutting will be fast, but it's not all that fast.  You fiddled with a lot of teeny tiny ornament dies!  Good idea to make these now rather than in December.

Yes Cindi they did take a lot of time, the trees were surprisingly easy to put together but yes I agree time consuming, not a last minute card that is for sure.
