MARK YOUR CALENDAR ..





Mark Your Calendar challenge! For this month, I've chosen John James Audubon's work as our inspiration.  Here's some information on this famous American.

John James Audubon, born April 26th in 1785, was an American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter.  He was notable for his extensive studies documenting all types of American birds and for his detailed illustrations that depicted the birds in their natural habitats. His major work, a color-plate book entitled The Birds of America (1827-1839), is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed.  Audubon identified 25 new species. (wikipedia.org)


Guess what our inspiration is???   :-)  
Simply include a bird on your page.  It can be a live bird in the wild, or captive, or a statue of a bird, or.... What will you come up with?  

Off the Beaten Path
This summer, when I visited my parents grave, there was always
geese just wandering around cemetery. I remembered to bring my camera,
I was lucky with this photo. I stopped and out and SNAP.
THAT WHAT YOU CALL PERFECT TIMING.

Hi Everyone,
I will be sharing with you a couple of Layouts I have done recently
 over at http://soul-scrappers.ning.com/

            My first layout is our Sketch challenge done by Libby one our team designers.
               She always manages to come up with some great sketches.


You can use one photo or two (or even more if you would like)... flip it, rotate it... just have fun with this sketch!

                                                    Here is my take on the sketch

DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.
Here are my 2 nieces, they have been dancing since they were toddlers, now they are both in
high school.
                                         ***********************************************
 THE QUOTE  this month is to use a QUOTE from Alice In Wonderland
 The only other criteria is to use some buttons on your layout

 
The quote I picked was
"WE'RE ALL LITTLE MAD"
MY FAVORITE PHOTO OF MY NEPHEW
AND HIS LITTLE  CRAZY FAMILY.
 
 
 
 
 *******************************************************
NEXT I HAVE A CARD CHALLENGE.
WE NEED TO ADD A TRANSPORT....
EITHER A CAR, BICYCLE, TRUCK TRAIN ETC.

So, I decided to make a Father's day card
using a old antique car. 
 
That's it for today, thanks for stopping until next time......
Have a fantastic day.
Hugs
Mary
