Catch a Wave

Whew, I think I'm squeaking in on time for two challenges (fingers crossed!)  The first, and this one totally inspired the photo I chose, is one from Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge:  scrap something from your bucket list.  Since my first surfing attempt was an "epic fail" (quoting the youngsters here - do your kids say that?), I've always wanted to try again.  One day, I'll take lessons and stand up on that board, or die trying - and that is a definite possibility, as the cute Aussie lifeguard tried to tell me back in 1995!

Here's a close up of the title:

I used a bunch of cut files from Silhouette, including the title, to complete this page, and I had a lot of fun messing around with sizes and scraps!

The other challenge I had in mind when creating this layout was a sketch from Let's Get Sketchy: 

Love the angles and layers on this sketch!  

Well, that's it for now.  Oh wait, I wanted to show you some more wildlife pics I took from our deck the other night:

I had no idea that Vanderhoof is some sort of mecca for these birds!  They fly over the house probably a hundred times a day, from the field across the road down to the river, and I think they're so beautiful!  Loud, too, honking from dawn to dusk!  Jason says they're snow geese, other people say they're swans - if you know offhand, please enlighten me.

Happy Easter to all!
