Today brings us the new word prompt 'Smile' at Bird is the Word. Here is my DT page using an old Sassafras Lass patterned paper 'Sweet Marmalade- With Love' I think this might be the B side.
I used some tiny bits of chipboard and painted them to echo the colours and shapes in the pattern. Then machine stitched some circles around the photo and embellishments clusters to ground them. The sprinkling of confetti was created using my EK Success Swiss Cheese Large paper punch, which has finally been dragged out of the drawer its been confined in for almost 2 years and used it in another page that I will share over the next couple of days.
Also BITW has a brand new 'pep me up' look. The fresh new blog background, badges and blinkies were all created by moi, so am very excited to announce the reveal that went live yesterday, thanks Wendy for trusting in me to give BITW a new identity I had a lot of fun with it xox. Go check out the blog here but below is the header which gives you a rough idea of the new concept.
Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful week, and just to foreworn you I'll be posting a couple of times this week so I hope I don't annoy you tee hee!
