Hummingbird Layout

I used three wallet size photos for this layout. To be honest, the photos weren't really that great, but I needed to do a layout of this event. We had a hummingbird nest and eventually babies in the summer of 2022. 

It was so cool! Mama made her nest and laid her eggs in our gazebo. It was absolutely crazy and mama wouldn't let anyone go into the gazebo while she was protecting her babies. 

Every day at the end of the day, we would go out there and just check to see how they were doing. We would talk about how mama was feeling; how the babies were doing, etc. 

Mother Nature at its finest! We loved the experience and were so excited when the babies finally flew outside the nest. The sad thing is there were lots of predatory birds just waiting to get to the babies. We're pretty sure one of them was taken because we only really saw one on the fence with mama.

Back to the layout. I used some beautiful paper from 49 and Market for no other reason than I wanted to use this paperline at some point. I added some stamped images of hummingbirds and some inking on my page but otherwise, it's pretty simple. I used a sketch from Sketch n Scrap for the layout. It was perfect for my three small photos.

I love how the purple and green stripe just pop off that neutral background! And I created a pocket that I plan on putting more details of the event.
