Together Is A Wonderful Place To Be

Purple And Parrots

Hello scrappers! Today I bring you a page featuring pictures of my husband and I when we took a trip to the Long Beach Aquarium. They have an aviary full of small parrots and you can pay for small cups of nectar to feed them as you walk through. The little birds were friendly and fearless and perched on both of us to drink out of the cups. It was a really fun experience!

I used a piece of purple paper from Paper Studio’s Entirely Textures stack for my background and mounted it to some navy cardstock. Various paper scraps and a blue doily were layered. I used a punch to create the bunting detail and strung them on a piece of pink embroidery floss. Stickers from Shimelle and Vicki Boutin sticker books as well as My Mind’s Eye embellishments add pops of color.

This page was created for the ARTastic February challenge. I love all the colors in their inspiration picture by Sarah Beetson, especially the purples which I incorporated into my page. My layout had to include birds somehow, so besides the birds in my photos, I used some parrot stickers by Stickabilities and some tiny puffy stickers by Amy Tangerine.

Thank you for stopping by and I’ll see you in March with a new page!
