BITW - Discover & Exciting News!!

Hi girls, I have this fortnight's new word for Bird is the Word which is DISCOVER.  To enter this challenge just use the word somewhere on your project.  There is also an awesome sketch created by Mary Thomas to get the creative juices flowing, which is optional.  The winner will receive a fabulous prize and along with 2nd top entry and random draw they also are our Guest Designers for the following month.  Pop on over to the site and check out the gorgeous creations from our super talented Design Team and our Guest Designers Yvonne, Georgia and Sarah for some inspiration.

Discovering New Zealand
A recent pic from our trip to New Zealand at Christmas was perfect for this fortnight's challenge.  We had a wonderful time exploring New Zealand and this pic of Luke and Brittany was taken on a tour at Rotorua, which was really fascinating.  Parts of the Mary's fabulous sketch inspired my design of this page.  I purchased the little fern leaf embellishments in a scrapbooking shop in New Zealand...  couldn't help myself!!  They are the national emblem and are made from Paua shell which is native to New Zealand.
