Woohoo, it’s Monday! Hope you had a terrific weekend….and ready for another Merry Monday challenge:
I had had this idea kicking around in my head for a while: to use a pennant die to make a tree. When I saw Lesley’s challenge, I knew this was the time:
I cut out the pennant from some MME Lost & Found Christmas paper, backing it with some champagne glimmer paper. It looked a bit plain, so I punched out some little circles from the same papers to make “ornaments”. The sentiment is from Amy R’s Handy Christmas Greetings:

Hope you like it and you’ll play along with us as well. Check out all the designs at Lesley’s blog, Always Playing with Paper!
Learning to play with “tools”!
Enjoy your day!

Great idea LeAnne, love this sparkly tree! You've probably sparked an idea across blogland!! When our son was Cassidy's age he had little plastic tools and insisted his hammer was the screwdriver and pronounced it "skews driver"!!
