Bird Paradise Layout

Challenge Sketch

             Sketches in Thyme October Week 2 #488

    With the sketch provided, I started assembling the layout and choosing the colors best suited for the dark, indoor photos. Because I didn't have appropriate items in my stash, I ended up die cutting a ton which took longer, especially to see what colors worked best. While I was out to get cardstock at Joann's, I found this parrot patch in their sewing section. Though the colors are right, I liked the pretty accent it brings to the page. Hope you enjoy my layout.

    These beautiful birds are from the Theater of the Sea in Islamorada, Fl, in the Florida Keys. They preformed different things from counting, adding and such. I was impressed! Smart AND beautiful!
