DEER AND FAWN Nov & SCRAPBOOKING TOP 50 AUST Nov challenges.

A big hello to you!  I hope your day is going well!
Can you believe how fast the days are going by??

I have two challenges to put up, and I think I am a first timer for these two..  I was drawn by the wonderful color inspiration for both of them..

The first one is for DEER AND FAWN DESIGNS and the inspiration picture is this beautiful bird..
Arent the colors simply stunning!! well I tried to use those colors and I have created an art journal page in my kraft journal. I wanted to keep it pretty flat so I have created a page using all fussy cut images from an old calendar..  Some calendars have the most wonderful pictures and I often keep old calendars simply because they are too beautiful to throw away.. So I have cut out images and pasted them on my page.. I did do a bit of mixed media on the back ground which just shows a bit..

some closer views..
 The mixed media on the back ground.. and I have used birds as well..
layers of fussy cutting..

His eye is on the sparrow..

I was inspired by the words of one of my favourite old gospel songs..  and I just wanted to do something inspirational in this journal..
You can listen to the song  HERE!!!


And I have created a layout for the challenge over at SCRAPBOOKING TOP 50 AUSTRALIA which is this lovely moodboard..
I have used the colors and also created some pie circles inspired by the unbrellas!!

Some closer views..


Live in the sunshine..

Thanks for popping in, and thanks so much for your lovely comments too!!
