Great LO Nancy! (It's upside down for me). There must have been an OM plant in the East Bay...I saw this mobile on a regular basis growing up in San Leandro.

It's upside down for me too. I put my iPad on screen lock and turned my iPad upside down and it looks good! Nice job!

Dont faint...but I did a LO today!!! I followed Jen's sketch fairly closely. Of course it's a page on birding. What else? :lol: I tried to use a lot of prints and for the embellishment I stamped, cut and colored feathers. I love the background paper from Studio Calico. I felt it represented the 20,000 Gulls I saw that day. Circles for some reason are always a challenge for me so I decided I had to try this sketch.

What a great choice of papers, Farley. They really give the feeling of being in the midst of a vast flock of gulls. You did a good job colouring the feathers too! Now all you've got to do is to spot a bird with feathers like these. That could really make your day. :P
Kathryn.

Thanks Kathryn and Debbie for your comments. I'm excited to have scrapped something. It's been ages for me.

Yes kathryn those would be fun feathers on a real bird. I used the light colors from my base paper to repeat in the feathers. Grey with light green, pink and turquoise was an appealing combo.

Farley! Great page along with everything they've already said.
I'm not one to use large circles either but this sketch has worked so well.

Yep, I'm super early this month but my day tomorrow is full of Red Carpet and Oscars and then on Monday I'll be busy preparing my Christmas card challenge cards. So if you are finished with this sketch, move on over to the new one here.
