Beautiful Bright Eyes

April 16-30 Progressive Scrap at DDR was so much fun.

Decided to wait and show all the steps together for this challenge.  We were free to use whatever kit we wished but at least 50% of DDR products.  Once something was added to the layout, it could not be moved.  Shadowing could be added at anytime during the challenge.

I chose to use Heart of Zen kit by Feli.  I was enthralled with the lovely oriental feel to the kit.  Everything is from the Heart of Zen unless otherwise noted.



 STEP 1 - You will have 3 days to complete this step, due midnight Tuesday, April 17th

I was very happy with my layout for the challenge but decided that I wanted to add a couple more items to it for my own personal layout.  I added white flowers in the lower left and a statue in the lower right.
