I sit here giggling a little to myself and feeling a bit sorry for my old man hee hee. Quite apt I call him that as he is seven years older than me! It started when I couldn't think of a title for this card and what usually happens is I tell him the theme of the card and ask if he knows any songs. He said straight away 'I talk to the trees' and I said I had never heard of it and joked was it released before 1985? He said nothing and then 'it's very famous you know'. So if anyone can guess who sang it (without googling it - you little minxes) I will send you a little something ;D.
This card is for a bit of fun, I happily discovered when I was having my disastrous craft day. I had tried to punch out a scalloped circle (I couldn't live without my Stampin' Up! punches) from some paper, I hadn't cut it out fully but what I had cut out looked like the top of a tree. So I sat down with my son and experimented with the punches to make a fun card he can give to a friend.
Hope you like it, have a great day & see you tomorrow xx

Emma, what a super cute little card and what a clever idea with the trees.

Tell your hubby that I know the song - but then I'm older than he is lol! Without cheating with Google, I don't know who sang it - however thanks to you I now have the tune in my head!
What a fun card, and even more fun to have done the creating with your son alongside.

Darn that Lesley, for a moment I thought I may have had a chance at actually winning something!! I was a 79 baby but with 2 older sisters and a dad that watched Clint Eastwood films. I love this card, your inking looks really good too. Your trees are beautiful, nice choice of paper. Love Jane xx
This is a lovely card Emma, very imaginative! Brilliant use of the scallop circle punch!

Such a cute card.
Hey Emma - I'm a baby of the 80's but my Dad is ancient and he sings this!! I had no idea where it was from as I usually just roll my eyes at him LOL!
I'm two weeks older than my bf and he let's me know it all the time! I just say I have a Toy-boy LOL!
Lovely card btw - very cute and funky! Super!
Hugs,

Love this card :)
Wow what a way to get more bang for the buck with punches. Love the colors too.
Love the trees and yes I do remember the song-it reminds me of my Dad too. He sang "I talk to the trees that's why they put me away" but Harry Secombe probably sang it first. I do know the correct version in case you were wondering! And who on earth was Harry Secombe I hear all those babes out there cry Hugs BettyXXX
