Supplies: Paper - Paper Studio A2 card; scraps;
TH Kraft Metallic Colors; Spellbinders Christmas 6x6"
Stitching Dies - Spellbinders I'll Be Home for Christmas
(DOMST-Oct23);
Magazine freebie - can't find the name
Other - foam tape
First I die cut the Merry Christmas sentiment tree from metallic cardstock and the outline from a scrap of green. Next I die cut a striped paper with a stitched rectangle. Added the striped rectangle to an A2 card. Layered the sentiment tree to the outline & added to the card with foam tape. Next I added the leftover round baubles so they'd be peeking from behind the tree. Quick and easy - so much so, I die cut two extra trees for future cards.
I'll also link my card to Merry Little Christmas #63 where Anything Goes Christmas. I'm playing with Darnell's IDEAS where this week she's doing D for Dies & at NBUS #76 since my sentiment tree is getting first play here.
Still with me? I haven't shared many photos of my yard but here is the view of the right front of the house and a close up of the bigger hydrangea bush:
That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!!

A great and pretty way of using leftovers!!
I love hydrangeas and have a lot in my garden. Unfortunately, the spring was very dry, so not all of the plants produced many flowers. While on vacation, we went on the Hydrangea Trail. Fascinating!!! It was 3 km long, and all kinds of hydrangeas lined the trail. I'd never seen some of them before.
Love the card Linda. That sentiment is fantastic. And your garden looks amazing. We have a HUGE hydrangea in our garden. Been growing for over 30 years - Peter cuts it back very harshly each year and it just grow bigger each year! It's a gorgeous pale green colour.
Love the colourful card and focal sentiment. Beautiful hydrangea I have lost two large ones in my garden due to the heat but have a smaller one with beautiful flowers.

This works so well, Linda! And a lovely pic of your yard too. Here in the UK a 'yard' has a slightly different meaning and your lovely outdoor space would be a garden. Looks great. Thanks for joining Gail and me at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge, Jo x
Very festive - the patterned paper works nicely with your sentiment! Beautiful plants!
THose baubles make for a nice anchor for that large sentiment. Love those pink Hydrangeas...we had blue ones in MD. I think we might have white ones here in Ohio...we shall see.
Loving the stripes and big ol' polka dots with that cute sentiment tree! Wonderful card and hydrangeas, Linda!
How fun that we have similar landscape styles, Linda! Except I can't (boohoo) grow hydrangeas here; your bush is stunning! Thank you for sharing. I really love your colorful and bright Christmas tree design with the stripes and circles! Thank you for using this week's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar and linking in the gallery to motivate others!📌 And thank you again for your entries in NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
Love your colourful background and how you have incorporated those circles into the tree. Thanks for sharing the pictures of your front garden. It is always nice to get little glimpses into the world of other bloggers. Love the deep pink hydrangeas xx
Fun Christmas card, Linda! Great way to use up those scraps. Love the photos of your front yard. The hydrangea is so pretty.
Such a cute card and pretty yard!
