Today’s feature is a cute little element pack that is one of the most versatile kits in my digital scrapbooking stash. It’s called Through the Year, and it includes a tree with 4 seasonal toppers. Chelle also created some seasonal trees assembled and shadowed  to make for quick and easy page embellishing. These trees are the perfect complement to photos of cherry blossoms in the spring, leaf raking in the fall, botanical gardens in the summer, snowy play in the winter, or just about any outdoor activity at any time of year. And, check out the price. It’s a bargain for such versatility!

Check out a couple of layouts Chelle’s creative members have made. Here’s a precious page Kassie made with photos of her son climbing a tree. It looks like the perfect climbing tree with its thick, straight branches, and Chelle’s felt tree is the perfect complement to Kassie’s page and her use of the Gnome Sweet Gnome Collection. I love that she added the red bird to the tree, and that yellow circle behind it makes me think of the sun on a bright summer day.simplyyou1_zps7099b7a6

Lynett also used the Gnome Sweet Gnome Collection with Through the Year for a totally different look. I love her large photo with the silhouette of a tree in the foreground, and the tree from our featured kit looks fabulous as an accent to her page. I also got a silly kick out of the fact that Rome rhymes with Gnome, so I think she chose the perfect kit to use.romeskyline_zps66a2d76e

Roxana used the same tree topper acccent on her page as Kassie and Lynett. I like how Roxana used the tree, off the page and forming a border for the left side. I also like that she has used it with the Leafy Treetops kit; they go so well together! 31-ermita-right-web

Don’t forget, there are also spring and fall tree toppers in the kit, so the possibilities of use for this little element package are endless. Here’s a closer look at it in the market. cc_throughouttheyear_ep

I’ve been taking photos of summer’s arrival in my neighborhood, and I think I’ll add a tree or two to my next scrapbook page.
