Matchbo Christmas
It will be a beautiful day today and an even better weekend! What am I'm doing? A Christmas project! When the matchbox die came out - I knew I wanted to make a tree. So forget the gorgeous weather - pretend it's Christmas!
This uses 25 matchboxes - and 25 build a brads! The star on the top is the star die. To hold the "tree" on the "trunk" I cut a piece of cardboard 2 1/2 x 12" and covered it with Old Olive card stock on both sides. It made it very sturdy. The DSP on the outside is Bella Rose. I hand wrote the numbers with a Sharpie. Isn't it cute? Enjoy! Hugs, Fran

I think you should submit this to Stampin' Up. I bet this would hit the next catalog advertising that die cut and/or the build-a-brad kit

I wanted the matchbox die just so I could do an advent calendar, but I never thought of doing one in the shape of a tree. Absolutely beautiful.
