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


Magic

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

Here's mine:




It turned out a bit too blue. I started on a white piece of Bazzil and sprayed the edges with Glimmer Mist. Then stamped with the Background stamps of Glitz design.

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

Teresa Collins, on the Edge collection

Glimmer Mist, riptide, black magic and electric blue

Kaisercraft wooden flourishes

Distress ink, black soot and vintage photo

An epiphany

WOooooooohhhhhhhhhhoooooo!!! I'm jumping up and down, so excited!!!




This hairband I made in Ommen with a Prima flower, a piece of Prima packaging under a one inch Epiphany piece. Along with some rhinestones from Hotfix.
DD loved it and looks like EC did too! lol!
So thankful
(Monique..... finally on the same team again!)
I can't wait to start playing with the tools!
More good news but that will take some time to show is that I'm getting 2 layouts published in the best selling UK Scrapbook Magazine! But it will not be till november before it's published.
Hugs,
Mieke
