Christmas Tree

It's hard to believe summer is at an end. We've already been enjoying the cooler evenings, but not really liking the earlier sunsets! The end of summer means we better get moving on creating our holiday cards because they'll be here before we know it. 

This week the Stampendous Design Team is sharing some the beautiful tree images from Stampendous.  This simple, yet elegant, Christmas card will take you hardly anytime and will impress everyone!
