Hello and Merry Monday to you.
Karren chose our challenge this week.
I was so happy to be able to use this birch die that I bought last Fall.
And I used the stencil paste that I bought for a recent Online Stencil Class.
Check out what the rest of the Design Team has done.
Be prepared to be dazzled!
And we'd love to be dazzled by your card at

A big congratulations to this awesome team.
To celebrate they're going.
I've stenciled the dots, but I did use my Big Shot to cut the trees and birds.
since I used some of my teeny, tiny snippets
Thanks for the visit.
Enjoy!
