Bird Is The Word - You & Me

This fortnight's word (we have 2) are You & Me.  Please create your project using these words either as the title or in your journaling.  The winner will receive a fabulous kit from Tidbitz In Time. We also have featured winners who receive a blog badge from Bird is the Word.  Pop on over and check out the blog site to see the gorgeous examples from the Design Team.

You will be excited to see that the sketches are back starting with this challenge!! Mary is going to be our new sketch designer for Bird is the Word. Please remember that the sketches are for inspiration only...you are not required to use the sketch to participate in the challenge.






You & Me

I recently came across a gorgeous range of papers from Pion and have fallen in love with their beautiful shabby chic/romantic designs.  I have used one of their pp's for my background on this LO and decided to colour the wild roses with some distress stains which I watered down to match in with my coloured papers.. loved how it came out!!  Decided to go very feminine on this one and used lace and and a paper doily.  The cluster is made with Prima flowers and one of the new My Favourite Things rolled flower dies which are fantastic.  The beautiful butterflies chippies are from Scrapmatts.. I embossed and inked them and also backed them with some pp.  The little cherish word is also from Scrapmatts.  I was going through my massive stash and came across some very old K&Co envelopes and one of them matched beautifully with my papers... I altered it by using a sweet rubon verse from Prima and a gorgeous little badge which I received in my prize pack from Marivic at Berry Blue.

Marivic sells the most beautiful tags and kits, so pop on over and check out her etsy shop.  I have also entered this LO in Marivic's monthly challenge.  Here is the gorgeous inspiration pic for the challenge and the extra criteria was to add 3 handmade flowers, which were my MFT die flowers.


Sneaks

This month has been so hectic with DT work, and I have a few sneaks to share.   I'm so looking forward to slowing down a little, so I can take part in some challenges and just scrap for me.



Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love, it really makes my day :))
