SHCG: Lisa took the words right outta my fingers. Those alphas ARE just perfect! I like those green and blue flourish pp strips. I'd like to see the one under Greg's pic moved over to the left a little bit and extend behind the cloud, just to create a little more continuity in flow from one page to the next. That noted, I'd like to see the one behind the bird also bleed onto this page behind the cloud. I love the calming effect that your colors and patterns have on me as I admire your spread. Didn't think it was possible, but you truly captured exhilaration in this two pages, and it inspires me to scrap my own ziplining photos. I love that gleeful photo of you and I'm so glad you experienced this.
SHCG; Amazing two pager! The colors are perfect and I love layer and different PP's. The clouds are a perfect touch and actually give the feel of flying!!
SHCG: Wow, I love those sticker letters. At first I thought they were cut out with your cricket, but then realized they are stickers - either way they are great. Again the cotton is wonderful. You look like you are having sooooo much fun!
SHCG: Fantastic page 2 Sharon. I love the photo of you with your smile and your arms spread like and eagle! The word "eagle" is fantastic, love the branches and the birds in it. The clouds are so amazing and add so much texture and dimension that I feel like I am in the clouds. The colors are perfect for this. Great job Sharon, you did "Fly like an Eagle".
This is my response to Michelle/Chell Rae's “Animal in Me” challenge for Scrap Happenzz Critique Group to scrap pics of me looking like an animal, using texture, embellies that symbolize or are the animal & including journaling. I used these pics of DH & me “flying” in Jamaica during a ziplining excurision! Thank you, Steve Miller Band, for the title inspiration. :)
This LO uses Sketches by Suzy sketch #67. I added texture by covering Cricut-cut clouds w/ cotton (& since cotton isn't lignin-free, I matted the pics so they wouldn't directly touch 'em). The bird & blue “circle” from the sketch (actually a flower) were also Cricut cut. I've had those letter stickers for a while but have never used them – love how they have tree/birds on 'em! The scan cuts off the left margin.
Journaling for those interested: “Thurs. 4/16/09 – Day 5 of the unbelievably FUN cruise that Greg & I took w/ my parents! Montego Bay, Jamaica. Brilliant warmth in the 80s & sunshine. Greg & I chose to ZIPLINE w/ Zipline Adventure Tours! Did our research & went w/ a company different from the ship's zipline canopy tours (Chukka) because Zipline Adventure was SO highly rated & received numerous rave reviews re: safety measures & quality construction. Also a few online reviewers were, like me, afraid of heights & LOVED it. It was absolutely AMAZING! The stair climbing to a few platforms, then standing there, was a little scary but the zipping was NOT, it was EXHILARATING beyond belief! You feel so secure in your harness, w/ all the safety backups in their setup. It was like controlled FLYING!! I am so glad we went. We had 1 or 2 fewer zips than Chukka's but ours were longer, Big Timba was 1,600 ft long! AWESOME. I so dug how my acrophobia was really gone while zipping – soaring through the air FLYING LIKE AN EAGLE! (um, a very special type of eagle tethered to safety ropes w/ a helmet on & holding a wooden bar, LOL). It was incredibly THRILLING! And there were fun peeps from the ship on the excursion too, so great to see couples & families enjoying time together. Gliding through the air & getting a bird's eye view of the lush Jamaican hillside below – it was so exciting to FLY!!!!”
I had terrific fun scrapping this challenge response – THANKS Michelle!
