Bird Is The Word - TODAY

The new word challenge is up at Bird Is The Word and this fornight's word is "TODAY".  Just use the word in your title or journalling.. how easy is that and you could win a fantastic kit from "Tidbitz in Time"!!  There is also an optional sketch created by the lovely Nadia if you need a little inspiration.  Check out the gorgeous DT creations HERE.. truly inspirational work!!

I decided to create a card this challenge and used Nadia's fabulous sketch for inspiration.  Used some lovely pp's in pastel shades from Websters, Fancy Pants and  MME and of course had to fussy cut and layer the Websters paper.

For the title I used some Basic Grey alpha stickers and  a script computer font which I printed on paper first then attached my cut out on top with magic tape.  You can peel this off without it tearing the paper, but don't press the tape down too firmly,  just enough to keep it in place.  I use the glass on my window like a light box so I can see where to position my cut out.

To add a little detail to my strip of pp I used a Martha Stewart corner punch on the ends.  A touch of lace and a beautiful butterfly diecut to add a little softness and a bit of distressing and inking for some definition and to finish it off.

Remember you still have at least 2 weeks to enter your "Hope" challenge.  The "Amazing" challenge winners will be announced  tomorrow!!

My2Angels - Ideas With Felt

********************************************************************
Felt frames on SALE until 20th July).

This week at My2Angels there are some fabulous ideas on how to use felt on your creations.  Check out these out and also pop on over to the blog site for more detailed information on how these were created.

Geli came up with this fab idea of covering Tracy's felt frame with some felt ribbon and using the left over pieces on a scrap of ribbon.


On this LO Tracy has used one of my favs felt products which is the scroll felt frame.  This matches perfectly with the Scrapware flourish frame.


Another gorgeous LO from Tracy using the new Websters "Let's Celebrate" papers which are IN STOCK NOW!!.. pop on over and have a looky loo, they are gorgeous.  Tracy used the felt ribbon and cut pieces to use as flourishes.. don't they look beautiful!!

Another idea is to use your felt ribbon as a mask to use with glimmermist.  Remember to place felt side down, so that when you spray on the paper backing it can be wiped off and you still get to use your felt.


HURRY YOU STILL HAVE TIME!!! 
Hope this has given you some ideas of creating with our felt trims and also our felt frames (which are on special until the 20th July).   

Don't forget till the 21st July there is 30% off felt at my2angels.

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love :)))
