Bird is the Word - Future

Hi Girls,
This fortnight's new word is "Future".  To enter the challenge use the word somewhere on your LO, Card or OTP creation and then link it back to Bird is the Word.  For some inspiration pop on over to the site and see all the gorgeous creations from the Design Team and our Guest Designer.  There is also an optional sketch for you to use designed by Mary Thomas.

You all know how I love using quotes at BITW so I found this quote for my LO, it reads:  "The best way to predict the FUTURE is to create it.  Went for some masculine grunge on this LO of Luke, and had some fun with texture paste and misting on my background.  I finally had a little play with some of the new Stampendous Mica Fragments and used them to alter my chipboard to give it a distressed worn look.
