Hi Girls,
Sorry I haven't been around much lately, but I have been super busy. I was at the Craft and Sewing Show in Brisbane for the last 4 days helping out at the Scrapmatts booth and had a lot of fun demonstrating and showing all our lovely ladies how to use the chippies with a mini class. Now I am back into getting all my DT commitments up to date... busy busy busy!! I am hoping to catch up with all of you and leave some blog love in the next few days.
I can't believe we're already on a new word.. the days are just flying by! This fortnight the new word at Bird is the Word is "SPARKLE". To enter just use the word or a derivative of the word on your LO, Card or Project. There is also an optional sketch created by the talented Mary Thomas for you to use if you so wish. Click on the link HERE to check out all the gorgeous creations from the DT.
You Sparkle and Shine
Wasn't too sure what to do for this word at first, but then I remembered on old photo of Luke whilst we were on holiday that I love, as the sun is shining on his face and I managed to capture him mid-splash.
I kept it fairly simple and had a play on the background with some gesso, tape and glimmer mist. I used some MME papers as they have a beautiful glitter effect which went perfectly with this fortnight's word. I also used some gold Kindyglitz on my title to tie in with the glitter effects of the pp's.
Materials: MME Lost and Found, Prima Printery pp's, Tim Holtz tissue tape, Prima chipboard stickers, MME Stella Rose label stickers, Jenni Bowlin buttons, D-Lish twine, Glimmermist - sunflower, Basic Grey alpha stickers, Kindyglitz, Gesso
