October 1st Saturday - Recipe

Post by Deanna13 »

Image

Join us as we flock together to complete this month's "Birds of a Feather" themed challenges. While this old proverb is true of all of us who share the same love for putting our memories on scrapbook pages or creating beautiful cards, the focus is not on us, but on the various birds that surround us with their beautiful colors, their varied songs, and their nest building skills. They may hang around our yards splashing in a bird bath and enjoying a free meal or they may make their home in a zoo. Perhaps they were a once in a lifetime sighting or a pet you enjoy every day. Big or small, they may frighten us or delight us. We use their names to describe others...you wise old owl, she's as colorful as a peacock, he's just a little songbird. They have stared in movies and inspired songs and poetry. And these amazing creatures have even risen to the heights of being honored as state and national symbols. So, get ready!! The birds are coming!


Remember - A new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations.

Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....

*Winner will be chosen via Random.Org.

Today, we're talking about Backyard Birds. We feed many types of birds all year around. Today, I decided to focus on some of the most unique birds we've seen. The Pileated Woodpecker who comes and goes all Winter and the Northern Flicker which we've only seen 1 time. I have a Recipe Challenge for you today.

Woodgrain (to represent birdhouses)
Twine (to represent nesting material)
Red (both of these birds have a tuft of red)

*You may add anything else to your layout, but you must include the 3 items in some way.

Remember your layout DOES NOT have to be about birds!


Here's my example and a couple bigger photos of the birds in my layout.
