Here are the other cards I've done. The counting for the stitches around the deer was surprisingly difficult. Must not have had my light adjusted properly. All these are for American relatives. 97p for stamps to the US!! 97p

Serinde,
I pay $1.00 to mail letters to the U.S. from Canada -- and they're right next door!
Love your cards.

The thread is a variegated Caron one, called Pistachio Nut (number 7). Stitched on 28ct navy Brittney, I think.

Thank you
They are all from
JBW Designs , they are the Christmas Tree Collections 1 - 5 and Christmas Keepsakes 1 and 2.
Here is a link to the "Joy, Love, Peace" tree. The models are all stitched with Weeks Dye Works but I just used DMC threads and substituted beads for the charms since I was making so many of them.
