I am on a roll this week! I have created a few layouts some yet to be revealed but I am feeling like Mr Mojo is hanging around. I reckon though its mostly due to some awesome challenge sites I have stumbled across. This new layout was inspired by a site called Bird is the Word its a challenge site that sets words as your inspo. Its funny I hadn't heard of this site before and when I came across it through a new bloggy/scrappy friend Rachael Funnell I had to have a play. I always sing "bird, bird, bird... Bird is the word!" to Tige so kinda felt an affinity with this challenge site...tee hee!
Anyhoo here is the layout, its one of those photo's you snap when no-one is around to take it for you. The type that you point and shoot and hope you haven't cut off too much! I think it worked out just fine! To create the dry embossed stars I cut my own misting template using the cricut then I placed the cardstock over the top of the template then using a paper creaser or burnisher whichever you have handy, and then I rubbed over the top of the cardstock to create the embossed indentation of the star. This adds another fun dimensional layer to your page and works equally as well with The Crafters Workshop Templates.

I also used some handmade Fimo buntings made by the gorgeous Corinne Harrison of Hand Made Halo, go check them out. Lastly I also scored some seriously purdy antique maps from my friend Kyla, cheering for that little gift of love...thanks Kyla,mwah!
Hope you have a spectacular weekend guys! xox
