ROCKING AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE BLOG HOP

WELCOME TO THE "ROCKING AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE" BLOG HOP!
 
I made this card for the Unity Hip Hop Sketch Challenge.  I got to ink up my wonderful Unity/Webster's Pages Christmas Tree stamp--love this tree and the beautiful frame around it.  I punched circles out of one of the patterned papers from WeRMemory Keeprs and lined them up down the side.  Then I used some white buttons and lined them up across the card to the sentiment which was also cut from the WeRMemory Keepers paper along with the background plaid paper.  This is all part of their White Out Christmas collection.  
This card is going to be our family Christmas card.  Gave my Big Shot a workout, using Sizzix die for the tree and an embosslit for the present and one of the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Alterations die for the bracket die cut piece out of red.  I used the Unity "Mr. Woody" woodgrain stamp with some hunter green ink from Stampin Up for the background.  I inked the edges with a dauber.  The cardstock and kraft paper is from the Paper Studio.  The patterned paper is from Cosmo Cricket.  I used liquid pearls for the ornaments/lights on the tree.  The Happy Holidays stamp is from Unity.  I used my Zig markers to color and inked the edges with a gold dauber.  

I have some blog candy today - a grab bag of Unity stamps and some stickers.  All you have to do is leave a comment and "follow" my blog.  I will announce the winner on Monday.
