ADSR 5.9 - The Color Wheel

Debbie has posted the requirements for this challenge before I butted in and mounted my missing LOs.  My part of the color wheel was blue and Debbie is doing orange.  The subject was Creativity.  We could use a photo or not - I chose not to use a photo for this LO.  Here is my entry:

ADSR 5.8 - Someday . . .

There were requirements about the number & type of elements we were to use on this LO, just like #6.  I had lots of pictures I wanted to use so I really hated having to use so many elements - would have preferred more room for journaling.  In any case, here it is.

ADSR 5.7 - The Bucket List

I thought this one was hard - mostly because they said it had to be realistic - which considering the state of the economy, really puts a crimp in anyone's bucket list (unless you are young and have your whole life ahead of you).  At my age, I've done many of the things I would have on my bucket list if I was writing this 30 years ago.  Here is the LO I came up with - and my list. Hope it is readable.  I made the little stick man and the bucket myself.  First time I've tried that!

Challenge 5.6

Here is my entry for the roadblock, Challenge 6.  Only one of us had to do this one - in which the chosen person  was to use an old photo of herself and one taken within the last year.  I was also to include 10 words that describe myself. Thank goodness this "roadblock" gave Debbie a little time while her mom was in the hospital.
