My LOs have been picked!

I am so pleased! At Oscraps one can put a favored LO in the monthly Standing O forum and I've just gotten picked for my first one. It is for my take on a quote challenge. It was a very creative challenge! Sara asked us to pick a photo we were wanting to scrap, think of words it brought to mind, then find a quote that embodied the feeling. I picked a photo from our visit to Puerto Rico on a birding trip in 1996. I've done it once before, but this is much better.

If that weren't enough, my LO "Enjoy" was selected for the last page (Happy Ending) of the August issue of the Artisan Notebook! I've never had anything like this before, now two at once!

Owl in the Details

I couldn't resist this title! After our anniversary dinner we spotted small carvings just inside the door. On one side it was an owl so I had to get its picture. I used it for a color challenge that had to include all four colors: nearly black and white, a tan and a nice blue. The colors are even similar to what I used for the dinner layout.
