October 28, 2022 Emu

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's bird is the emu. The emu is a large bird that cannot fly. There were once several types of emu, but over the course of many years humans hunted and killed off all but one type. Emus live in Australia in most parts of the country. They even live near cities. They need shrubs or trees for their food, however, so they do not live in open areas with no plants. They eat seeds, fruits, flowers, insects, and leaves.

Since these birds are not as common as they used to be your challenge is to use a photo or photos that have scenery in them. No people or only a small part of a person. I used our feet.
Also include a shape many times on your page. I used triangles on my page.

This one looks better in real life because the silver shows up better.

I don't have many outdoor scenery photos but I did have this one of the "scene" under the Christmas tree =D I chose circles and repeated them by using paper with circles on it, Nuvo drops, and circles tucked in here and there.
