This layout is a bit of a throwback. I made it several years ago for a Christmas sketch book for Scrapbook Generation. I wanted to share it today because it's got one of my favorite, and super easy, Christmas tree designs to make.
I love giving myself little challenges with themes and when it comes to the holidays I really enjoy finding different ways to make Christmas trees. This one is a design that I've used several times because it's easy to make and adjust to different sizes.
It has a long vertical strip for the trunk and then there are several horizontal strips arranged on top going from longest at the bottom to shortest at the top. I typically use 1/2" strips for all strips, but can use larger or smaller to customize.
There are also several ways you can dress the tree up. For this layout I added a garland with small punched circles and stitching and then a layered star at the top. You could also add ornaments or lights.
It really is a fun tree design to play around with!

This is, in a way, derivative of the continued neo-vintage trend, but also different. Back in our December auction preview, we called out link the Jaeger-LeCoultre Gyrotourbillon 2 from link 2008 as, basically, one crazy watch. Well, it ended up selling for $113,000, at the lower end of its $100,000 to $200,000 estimate. Still, some people look at watch the Gyrotourbillon and see, well, one link crazy watch.
When I began getting interested in watches there was no watch internet – some Usenet newsgroups were rattling around, but that was about it. Watch news broke, like all news, in print, and the magazines, such link as they were, got stuck in newsstands, bottom rack, next to the link model railroading, coin, and doll-collecting magazines (nothing wrong with any of those hobbies, by the way. But you get link the idea; watches were a niche of a niche).
