An Inspired CCEE Challenge


Frances is the December hostess for the CCEE Stampers Challenge, and she is back this week with an inspired challenge.....
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!
In beauty green will always grow
Through summer sun and winter snow.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!

Use the lyrics above for the inspiration of your card for the challenge this week. Your card can include a Christmas tree, pine branches of a Christmas tree or even a tree in a summer or winter setting.

I used a set from Mark's Finest Papers to create this CAS holiday card.  I added a touch of dazzle and a snowy texture to the tree panel.

Be sure to visit the CCEE Stampers' Blog to see the other fabulous creations inspired by this challenge.

This week's challenge will be our last challenge for 2013 as we all want to take a little time to concentrate on family and friends during the holidays. Of course we will be back on 2nd January to start another year for fun challenges.   Hope to see you here too!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support of our challenges every week!  We love that you play along with us.
