One Layer Wednesday 95 ~ Stars and Stripes; Pixie's Crafty Workshop 27; and ColourQ 144

A Thursday hello to everyone!

Today I am participanting in three challenges!

I'm playing in Susan's One Layer Wednesday #95 challenge, which is to make a OLC using at least one stripe and one star.

I'm also playing in Di's Pixie's Crafty Workshop #27 challenge, which is to use up some snippets from your Snippet Mountain.

I am also playing in the fun ColourQ challenge, which is to use these colors:

And this is my take:

We had so much fun yesterday at our friends' annual 4th of July barbecue! One of many highlights was the swooping arrival of a great-horned owl to the tippy top of the neighbor's tree!  One of our friends took a picture so if it turned out, I'll post it soon.  It was HUGE!

But, oh my grits and gravy, I ate soooo much!!   Two of my beliefs:  

• Food always tastes better outdoors.

• You always eat more the day after you eat too much.  Like you're not already in actual physical pain from the glut you engaged in yesterday?!  And how interesting that glut is gut with an el, as in elbow macaroni.  Ooo, that reminds me, there is still a left-over brownie and Mister will be here any minute.  Must dash. 

Enjoy!  As always, thank you for stopping by to visit.   Special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower or leave a comment!

Edit:  I realized after posting that I can't link to Susan's OLW challenge, so I'll think about another card for that.  I paper-pieced the blue and white star paper onto the toe of the booties, so it's no longer one layer.

Paper:  SU white;
  unknown blue w/ white stars
Stamp: All Night Media 995G07;
  sentiment, CG coral
Ink:  SU night of navy, brocade blue,
