January 8 - Build Your Own Tree

Fun challenge. I thought of how a child draws a tree. My trunk made of paint brushes, the branches/limbs of pencils and the leaves of paint and triangles. A old, old song talked about wrapping a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree and I couldn't get that out of my head -- hence the yellow ribbons flying. And if you look closely the background paper has the word "create" over and over on it. That appealed to me since I was creating a tree. So here it is:

 

That was a challenge for sure! But fun. Thanks!

 

I used urban garden by NBK

 

So much fun Justine!! I threw everything at it!

 

There was something about how cold it was today that I had to make my own tropical isle complete with palm tree.

 

this was a tough one!

 

I know this doesn't count, but I did this layout tonight and like this tree layout much better

 

Okay this was so much fun. Inspired me to write this poem.

 

Argh. This one has me really stumped. Get it...tree stump...see what I did there?
Hate getting behind but I’m going to have to try again tomorrow!

 

This was super fun, Justine!! Loved it so much! Thanks for the challenge!

 

Here is my version. Thanks for the great inspiration.

 

Paint for the trunk, stitches grid for the branches and hearts and sequins for my leaves:
