I love it when you can take stamps that are not necessarily designed for Christmas and make them work on a Christmas card.  That's exactly what I did here with a set called Big Trees.  It's not a total stretch, but clearly when you look at the set...it's not for Christmas.  The sweet little birds that decorate my tree are from Christmas Selections.  If you have not seen this set, you should.  If you want to talk about bang for your buck, this is it.  There are 30 small images in this set.  Love!  Finally, I chose my sentiment to fit up in that corner.  The Happy Christmas sentiment comes from Poinsettia Blooms.  This particular kind of card, if you are unfamiliar, is called a center step card.  I find it marvelous for showing off solo images, like the big tree.

If you've been hopping along, go on to Vickie.  If not, you will want to start at the beginning.  Here's the Design Team:  Jane, Karen, Kren, Lois , Marilynn, Pat, Sandy, Sue, Toni,
