Red Tailed Hawk

I loved the outdoor them for CSI 238. I love taking walks in the local forest preserves...and I have the opportunity to observe many animals and birds. I was particularly lucky one day to see a red tailed hawk out looking for a meal.I find it interesting that the survive in both the natural lands, grasslands, and how some have even adapted to living in New York City. I have never been, but red an interesting story online about a hawk living in the city named Pale Male.

This is my layout: I used leaves, enamel dots, animals (birds), flowers and journaled on two spots peaking out of the brick wall. I made the brick wall with a brick stencil and used gelatos to create a watercolor background. Then spritzed a little with some ink and fussy cut the feathers, and added some color. Thanks for looking!

Meow

For csi 237. I had some pictures sitting around of my niece's birthday party. The house was decked out with balloons, streamers, and ribbons; which of course caught the cat's eye. Her cats are particularly photogenic. These papers worked nicely with the color scheme.
The challenge.

The layout I created used all 5 colors, followed the sketch as closely as I could, and used labels (K and Co), animals (cat stickers), and washi tape (striped). I also used stripes and speech ballons (stamped)  on label. I took one of the prompts (and wrote from the cat's point of view) I wish I had a million....

Family

CSI challenge 236:
Finally got this one done (a little late, but completed all the same. For this challenge, I used gold, polka dots, wood, and buttons. I journaled about a family adventure.
