A Little Bit of Rest

All my to-do's are done until Monday when I have to bake the pies, so I have a little time to rest.  It's a good thing too because Thursday night I sneezed hallmarking the start of a cold.  Fortunately, I was only planning to work a short day on Friday to make up for the extra hours lately.  I managed to get everything done just before I ran out of energy.  Then it was home to make a quick coffee cake and some cupcakes for last night's get together.  But I ran out of energy again and we had to come home early so I could get some sleep.

Today I had absolutely nothing to do but I also didn't want to sleep all day either.  So I headed into my craft room to play for a bit.  But I can tell I don't feel well because I wasn't making much progress on this card.  I found it on Julie Davidson's blog Julie's Stamping Spot.  I made the tree using my Cameo.  I had a tree pattern but it didn't quite fit the card.  So I cut the trunk apart and created my own leafy canopy.  I then used the rhinestone feature to create the cutouts and then, when layered, had a pretty decent substitute for the tree in Julie's card.  While all the plain paper is from my stash, the striped paper is from the Simple Stories Awesome 6x6 paper pad.
