Pink Ladies Tree

Good morning Crafties,

I totally forgot to post this tree I made right before Christmas.  I made a similar tree a couple of years ago and you can view the entire tutorial HERE.

Here's a quick recap of what we do:

We are a group of Ladies and Gents that get together every Sunday to throw darts and raise money for cancer.  We donate $500, a blanket (that is handmade by one of our Pink Ladies) and sometimes a plant or flowers each time to a "local person" with cancer primarily to help with everyday expenses.  That could be anything from personal items, groceries or gas to get to and from doctor appointments.  It's their money and they can do whatever they want with it.  We occasionally also hold fundraisers to obtain funds that we then give away.

We had our Christmas party and I made this tree for our table as a centerpiece.  I printed the ribbons onto pink cardstock and cut the "Snowflake" using my cricut.


Now the pictures really do not do this tree justice, but it did turn out pretty cool.

Now while Christmas has been long over, this tree is still up at the bar.  Troy, our bar owner and sponsor of the Pink Ladies says it represents the Pink Ladies all year long, not just at Christmas time!  It just thrills me when I know people like my creations.

As always, have a great day and God Bless.

Festive Fridays 7-8

Good morning and welcome to another edition of Festive Fridays. If you are new to us, sit back, grab a cup of coffee, relax and enjoy some wonderful Christmas Cards. Yes, I did say Christmas...Festive Fridays will be every other Friday with samples of Christmas cards. This way, you can be making your cards all year long and you will avoid the mad rush when you could be enjoying the Christmas Season. You should have just come from Debbie. If you stumbled upon this post you can go back to Terri and start at the beginning. There is also a complete list of the Festive Friday hop on the left sidebar under the Festive Fridays blinkie in case you get lost along the way.


This was super simple.  I used the Christmas cart on my gypsy and cut the tree as a background at 5 inches in plain green cardstock.  Then I cut the layer in a glittery paper also at 5 inches.  I used scraps for the background and added a bit of lace.  The tree is pop dotted to the card base and embellished with flat back pearls.  The sentiment came from a Christmas paper pack and fit nicely. 


I hope you like my Festive Friday card and hope to see you back in two weeks for another christmas card.  Now head on over to Angela and check out what she has for you.
