Christmas trees

I made this for a Christmas card swap at the Vintage Chicks Whimsical Christmas craft event.

I'm sharing my card at:

* Off the Rails Scrapbooking December Inspiration

* As You Like It ~ Favourite Christmas embellishment (and why)
My favourite embellishment is any kind of star! I'm very partial to wood veneers but I love all kinds. They are so versatile - the perfect finishing touch for any theme at all.

New car

Photo-busting!  I recently spent some time compiling a bunch of photo montages, in an attempt to catch up scrapping some of my older photos. I finally got some printed, now I just have to actually get them scrapped.

Not sure how I feel about this one. I struggled to find suitable title alphas. I may change out the title later... or I may just slip it into the album and move on!

* Scrap it with Attitude ~ 2021 precious memory
I actually had a hard time choosing a favourite memory... but among the many, was a weekend road trip with my daughter and sister-in-law.  We had a planned destination but the route to get there was totally spontaneous, and so much fun. Mostly back-roads with interesting discoveries, unplanned stops and lots of laughs and selfies along the way!

I found some interesting background info about the bunyip statue HERE.
