Saturday Spotlight With Hidden Potential - Time for Trees!!!

I just have to thank all of you who participated in our first ever Saturday Spotlight With Hidden Potential Challenge!  All of the entries were just fabulous and we can't wait to see what this week brings!  This week were are challenging you to make time for trees!  DRS Designs is our sponsor and they have some absolutely fabulous designs!  This time of the year trees start to go through a great transformation and how exciting to share that beauty with them.  Here's my take on Time for Trees:

This gorgeous tree stamp is from DRS Stamps and it's called Summer's End and I have just been taken with it.  I changed it for all the seasons.  Since it's fall, here's my view on fall:

I used Autumn Flower Soft and some yellow stickles to pick up the sun that reflects off the falling leaves.  And now for winter:

I've used White Polar Flower Soft and Frosted Lace stickles to give it a glistening look that comes from snow and ice.  While snow is gorgeous to look at, I'm glad I'm heading away from this season!  And then comes spring:

Spring brings renewed life to the trees as well as us all.  I love that time of the year.  And now summer, that I can stand 365!

How gorgeous is all of the green and the bright colors.  Yes, I know most trees this large don't have pink and deep green flowers in them, but hey, with stamping you can make them whatever you want!

All of the papers are from the Indian Summer stack from DCWV and the crystals and some of the embellishments came from a very sweet, dear friend.  I had the best time working with this tree and believe it or not, these cards went together in less than two hours - all four of them!

Make sure you stop over at our Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential Blog and see what my other Design Team buddies have come up with.  I know you won't be disappointed!  So pull out those stamps and make some Time for Trees!  We love seeing what you come up with!

Scrappy Frog's Challenge Blog - Trees

Scrappy Frog's Challenge Blog challenge that is going on right now is to create something with trees.  Here's what I came up with:

This tree stamp is so fabulous and is by DRS Designs.  It is stamped with Memento Cocoa Brown and I highlighted the sky and ground with blue and green Dew Drops from Versachalk.  I added some Autumn Flower Soft and cut it out with nestabilities.  The paper is from the Indian Summer paper stack from DCWV and the ribbon is from Offray.  I added some rhinestones on the edges and think it looks great!

 

Here's one side of the card that shows a bit of the inside.

I hope you stop over at Scrappy Frog's Challenge Blog and see all the great design team creations and join in our challenge.  I'd love to see you all participate and show off those trees!
