Challenge yourself

 At Challenge YOUrself they want 


My word for the year is moment. I need to enjoy the special moments as they occur instead of racing off to see the next thing or planning what comes next.

With that in mind, I scrapped the remaining 3 photos of the tamarins at Mogo Zoo.

I put them in a sequence and if you look at the one on the left you will see he comes and grabs the container, then puts his hand in to get the fruit then is eating the fruit. 3 photos taken seconds apart.

I used a paper from my kit with teapots all over it but, ultimately, they are hidden. I used vellum as my matting and put a strip of ribbon vertically on the vellum.

To add interest on the right -hand side I sloped my 2 journal cards plus the title. I used a doiley sticker then added wood veneer birds and a cage. Enamel dots finish this layout off.


              ******************************************************************

Yesterday I had some green paint left over so I made this layout.


I finished a packet of alphas ,used up the paint and used 4 branches from a pack I recently bought.
