Well done Elaine your card and your story goes so well together... Thank you for sharing with all of us... Plus I also like the 3-D tree as part of your décor.
Just like Koren I have always enjoyed watching the Christmas specials and cartoons growing up. Even though this wasn't a spoken tradition but I would always kick start Christmas with the classic "Charlie Brown Christmas" and now that I am adult I continue this "tradition". So I decided to create a card with this as my inspiration. I used a file in the Silhouette and instead of cutting out the individual pieces I put them together and had the machine just print out the complete image. I am not 100% settled on the green I used for the saying.
Elaine, I really like your card and your tradition. How fun that your dad would bring home a tree - so, no matter how the hunting went, he came home with a prize.
