New Word for BITW - Shadow

Happy August everyone.. for us aussies it is the last month of winter, and I for one am looking forward to getting these frosty mornings over with!!

New month.. new challenges all over the place...

The new Word for BIRD IS THE WORD is SHADOW... so many possibilities to use this word in your title or journalling.. pop over and check out the DT layouts, and I hope you get some inspiration and give this challenge a go..There is a beautiful kit from Paper Stories to be won..

Now my layout using the word shadow...

I took a few photos at sunset December 31 last year, the last remaining rays of sun for 2011, (what a year!) and I used this photo, I thought it worked for the word shadow...

The shadow of your smile...

and a closeup..

The pink and cream flowers are stamps which  I cut out and put liquid pearls as centers, and layered a few with foam tape, the flourishs are the really old kaiser wood ones painted black and a MS punched edge around the photo with kaiser rhinestones..

Thanks for taking the time to come by, I know the beginning of the month gets off to a galloping pace at times!! and thank you for your lovely comments too!!
