Branching Out & Peaceful Greenery!

Welcome to our Create With Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge is this photo:

Being from Maine, the Pine Tree State, we have lots of pinecones in different sizes and shapes. I oftentimes find them in my yard under my spruce & pine trees. I used the Branching Out Bundle and one of our Large Gold Hoops:

I added lots of layers with diecuts, bling and ribbon too!
