Life.Paper.Scrapbook color challenge and a birthday

Hi Everyone! I'm so excited to share this layout with you today. BUT first I have to say Happy Birthday to my baby girl. She is turning 8 today. I'm so proud of her, she is such a great kid. I can always count on her to help me out and put a smile on my face. She is a book worm and has such a tender little heart. I'm so proud to

be her momma!!!

 This is my first assignment with Life.Paper.Scrapbook. I LOVED this challenge. This is the color image that we were given as inspiration:

I was so excited about the colors I was going to work with because we're in the middle of winter here and everything is so grey. I was thrilled to finally see some fun warm bright colors. I also tried a new technique, making my own feathers out of patterned paper.

 I LOVE how the feathers turned out. They make this layout just pop off the page! Here's the entire layout:
