Here’s my entry. My symbol is the owl and my color scheme is purple and pale yellow.
My Mind’s Eye Freebird Kit:
mllwyllw – My papers are from a mod-retro stack I’ve been saving for something fun and THIS IS IT! They are really fun papers. My main embellishment is my initials. Inspired by Ali Edwards using her initials on her pages. I am doing a mini board book that will have one question answered on each of the 6 pages.

Paperclipping Altered Books DVD:
luvblklab – http://people.paperclipping.com/photo/albums/ch…
My symbols I chose Is the letter S (first letter of my name) When I was a child I would always write S’s the doodle around them and since my altered book is about my childhood I thought it would be appropriate. My other symbol is a tree for a personal reason that I have come to realize lately in my life.
I used nature colors blues, greens, oranges and blues and have many other nature symbols throughout my collection birds owls etc.
