January 8 - Build Your Own Tree

Mine

 

I was so relieved when I saw this was not a Family Tree. This was so much fun for me, as I'm close to leaving the rain and dense evergreens for sunny AZ and my precious palm trees!

I took this super literal,

 

I've been wanting to scrapbook this photo for a while, but wanted to do something special with it. This challenge was the perfect excuse! Thank you for the inspiration.

 

I decided to create an ATC for this challenge. I used a scatter of "glitter dots" for leaves, a swirl for branches, word strips for the trunk and ribbon for the roots and grass outline.

 

wow this is a great challenge! let's do this

 

What a great challenge!! I had NO idea where I was going when I started, but this is where my creativity took me.

 

Thanks for the challenge which was not an easy one to me.

 

Boy Oh Boy! I thought there was no way I could do this one, but....I did! and it was so much fun!

 

pre-made tree elements

@bellbird I am seeing limbs and greenery...are those not considered pre-made tree elements?
Just want to clarify before I get started

Great challenge!! ♥

 

Well, that was fun! My first thought was to do a family tree but I wanted to try something else. My trunk is the brown circles, my leaves are the green circles, and my branches are the stitches over the green circles:

 

once you look at the layouts, I think it's easier than some think. Just the examples in the first post started the "tree" wheels spinning in my head.

 

I hope this counts! "Trunk" is the umbrella and "leaves" are the butterflies!

 

i thought this would be hard and i wouldnt like it but it was FUN. and love using all the different supplies to build a tree.

 

I See All The Amazing Layouts Here In This Thread!...And Can Only Hope That Mine Even Comes Close To All The Amazine-ness That Is In This Thread...Each One Is A BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!...
