I'm posting this tonight because I have a dr.'s appt. in the morning.
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).....
Most people will never see a flamingo outside of a zoo, and yet these curious-looking birds are easily one of the most recognizable animals on the planet. Their graceful swan-like necks, vibrant colors, goofy behaviors, and stoic posture have made them an iconic animal for people all over the world.
This will be a sketch and recipe challenge using the letters in FLAMINGO.
I chose this sketch by Lisa Hidy over at sketchnscrap.blogspot.com
And here is my layout.
F - four photos
L - linear design
A - American Crafts letter stickers
M - made my own embellishments
I - ink I used on the dinosaurs
N - something new....gold paper
G - the color gold/grid design
O - something old....green plaid paper
