I am so glad that this tree isn't in my backyard - although if it were I might not need coffee in the morning! This fun doodle tree started on a piece of paper torn from a children's dictionary (please note the matchy blue words on the paper) and then embellished with markers, acrylic paint, white gel pen, stickers and washi tape.

The colors are from this week's Color Splash: Blue from The Play Date Cafe. I am not a fan of blue and for this reason it was important for me to take part in this challenge - takes me out of my comfort zone.

Very neat, Michelle! I like how you recycled the children's dictionary page. That tree sure would produce lots of leaves to rake in the fall, eh? LOL

Great AJ page! I love the tree and if it were in my backyard I love it, but I probably would still need coffee in the morning. Nothing to do with your tree though, it's just what I have to start my day is all. : )
Great use of the colors - I'd love to have you link up at 52 Card Pickup this week!

What a fun piece - art that makes me smile is a favorite of mine! Love your use of color
This is awesome. The elaborate blue circles remind me of blue Christmas lights wrapped around street trees. (One of my favorite winter visuals!) Nice work!
LOVE your tree!!!

What fun! I'd love to have that tree around!
gosh...dont ya just love blue?? lol I sure love this!
i love the matchy blue words! very cute. love your drawing too.
oh Michelle, i would LOVE having a tree like this in my back yard!! I love it!! i especially love how you balanced it all with those words on the left. And that quote. Yes, so lovely... Yup, if this tree was in my backyard, i'd have my coffee where i could see it every morning. :-) xoxo
oh wow, this is the greatest tree ever. Love it so! and the stripe tape? ...the whole thing, and blue words. fab!!!
I love your tree as well! Love the whole design of the page. I recently drew a similar tree - but it was in my black and white book, so I didn't add any colour. I called it my bubble tree... somehow we are on a similar creative path right now!
It's always a good thing to challenge our limits. When we work out of comfort zone there often our greatest inspiration! Happy PPF!
I love blue! And your pieces are fun and pretty♥
