Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge - use white

Thankfully it's a little bit or a lot of white to be used over at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge. And I'll also be entering my card into Crafty Hazlenut's Christmas Challenge Extra - which is always 'Anything goe so long as it's for Christmas'. I'd have LOVED to make an all white card but just knew that as a first try it would take me ages. However, I've been itching to use a new Christmas Tree die set for months so this is what I came up with - and it was so easy I made two the same, despite other pressing things to be doing:
I used:

- A6 white linen affect card

- trimmed piece of scenic backing paper from Fizzy Moon's 'Festive Fun' pack

- Christmas tree die cut from sparkly white card - the die set is by Dee's Distinctively and is called 'Snow Covered Stacker Tree - small'

- punched snowflakes from the same white sparkly card

I'll be running round today, checking lists and buying wine for nibbles and drinkies in my room before dinner over the school reunion weekend - a long established tradition to kick start the evenings. Now where did I put those mahooooosive plastic wine glasses?

The big down side is that my bestest buddy (from when we were both aged 13) won't be there as she's not been well :( I know you peek in here Moira - we know where you live and will be 'bringing the circus' up to you before many weeks have passed as agreed, that's a promise.Or even a threat - you don't get away from us THAT easily :) Big hug to you meanwhile Moira!
