Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...
You all know that Christmas Carol right?
Well here in SBS land we follow the Nightmare Before Christmas SCAROLS instead!
So today we have a song inspired challenge for you...
Old Mansion Tree.. it goes something like this...
“Old Mansion Tree, Old Mansion Tree
Your leaves are sharp and Prickly
Old Mansion Tree, Old Mansion Tree
You bring a gloom that’s sickly!”
Your branches droop with moldy care
Your smell of mildew fills the air
Old Mansion Tree, Old Mansion Tree
You clear the room so quickly!
Old Mansion Tree, Old Mansion Tree
Oh how we decorate you
Old Mansion Tree, Old Mansion Tree
With ornaments we weigh you
Your limbs and limp with bats and bows
Your tinsel tarnished years ago
Old Mansion Tree, Old Mansion Tree
A fire place awaits you!”
Pretty fun yeah? I love singing this Christmas Scarol during the Halloween/Christmas season at Disneyland, they play it outside of the ride as guests wait to get into the Haunted Mansion that is all decked out with Nightmare Before Christmas!
You are challenged to create a project with a Scary Christmas tree!
Adorn it with spiders, bats, and pumpkins!

Here is what I created for this challenge:
Christmas Card. I used the same Simply Betty Stamp as I did for the card in the post below, but colored her differently. I gave her a black tree to decorate. I used some papers I bought from Simply Betty's Shop in a kit. I used my Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher to make metal stitches around the card, to give it an edgier feel. The little piece of red ribbon just gives this card that extra pop of red.
