Bird is the Word

Hi all, hope you are enjoying your week, are you creating?

I should be but I have to work a lot this week.

I hope to set up a new canvas this weekend and I have a layout to make.

Anyway,

It's time for another Bird is the Word challenge word

I bet you can think of lots of layouts, cards and altered items with Magic in your title.

Here's mine:

I love the Teresa Collins papers and I even used my sewing machine!
