Happy Little Trees...

 

Good morning!

We've got a brand new digital release just added to the Sweet November Stamps store called, Tree Friends. These four trees are full of personality and they cover a range of emotions with their animated faces, making them a lot of fun for creating a variety of different cards. There is excited Linden, happy Maple, sleepy Sycamore and scared/surprised Hawthorn. And to make it even better, each tree also comes with a few coordinating critter friends.

Excitable Linden comes with a monkey and a squirrel, each matching his high energy level. For my card I chose to pair him with the monkey and colored them in saturated summertime colors. 

Happy Maple comes with a trio of twittering birds as well as a sweet raccoon and I went ahead and added the whole crowd together on this card.

And finally we have Hawthorn with his owl and cat compatriots, who are perfect for some funny Halloween cards. Hawthorn is always a bit on edge but when Halloween night comes around he is down right petrified! He is also this month's Free Digi to all of our Sweet November newsletter subscribers. So if you are a subscriber be sure to check your inbox as the July newsletter was sent out last night.

Now be sure to go check out the Friends of Sweet November Stamps group on Facebook for even more Tree Friends inspiration from Caitlin, Melissa and Tee! I will also be coloring Sycamore Live later this morning at 11am PST on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page and I hope to see you there!

You can also find us on Instagram @sweetnovemberstamps and don't forget to use the #sweetnovemberstamps any time you share a card or project using SN images so we can see all of your beautiful makes!
