Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Blog Hop

Fall Trees Theme!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Stamping Friends. Is it fall in your neck of the woods? Our leaf-peeping days are pretty much overwith here in Maine. Leaves have all fallen off the trees and the grounds are so pretty with all of the leaf colors sitting there to fertilize our grounds for next year! Isn’t Mother Nature amazing?

This week, our blog hop theme is Fall Trees and I used the snapdragon images turned upside-down to create my multi-colored trees:

The bundle I used is the Inspiring Snapdragons and I also added in a few small layers from the Splendid Autumn Designer Paper:

Stampin’ Up! Products Used:

• Stamps: Inspiring Snapdragons
• Inks: Cajun Craze, Blackberry Bliss, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue
• Cardstock: Balmy Blue, Cajun Craze, Basic White
