I loved the idea of using paint chips to make Christmas trees. What a unique technique. Unfortunately I only a pink and brown paint chips so I made a non-traditional color Christmas card with them. The Christmas balls on the trees are made with "diamond" Stickle and I used a silver star brad for the top of the tree. The matting is white glittery cardstock placed on top of pink Bazzil bling cardstock. Ribbon is from Michaels. TFL

I like that our Aussie paint chips are a little different. They are from a 60/30/10 range, designed for you to decorate a room with 60% of one colour, 30% of another, then accessorise (skirtings, trim, furniture etc)make up the remaining 10%- they obviously think we need LOTS of help!!!!

Anyway, the paintchips make great trees

Great job everyone!! I can't wait to try these trees-maybe tonight!
I am off today to have Thanksgiving with my brother and family.
It will be a great day, my husband, the dog and me with my favorite niece.
She is the apple of all of our eyes-21 almost 22 years!!
