Napali Coast Amazing leaves, and vines!

I am starting some of our pictures from our trip to Kauai, and needed some inspiration to get my creatvie juices flowing, sooo, I loved this sketch at Sketches with a Twist
so am entering my take on it, for their Feb. challenge. :)  Also, scrapbookers-anonymous has a challenge using stitching and 3 hearts.... (I hope drawing your stitches isn't cheating)--but my sewing machine, and I had a falling out awhile back, and we still haven't reconciled our differences! :)  Lastly I always love to see what Lasting Memories challenges has, and they have a wonderful open challenge using "ribbon"....soooo, I will enter this in theirs as well....
So without further ado, here is my L.O.

  20. Sharon this is such a great take on the SWAT Sketch and I love the pretty colours of the patterned paper you have chosen. The black grounds the layout and goes with the darker look of your photos beautifully whilst the brighter touches of colour makes them pop off the page. Thanks so much for joining us at Sketches with a Twist.
