This is my page for Bird is the Word- "Holiday" is the new word, you can use your word in any part of your project.  I also combined my DT work with two more challenges...Once Upon a Sketch-December  and White Christmas- Berry71Bleu.

I draped my paper in the same way I do in my dresses but in paper is a little more difficult but I really enjoy the process!!!
For OUAS- the journaling theme is December.

My journaling is behind my page and says...

"December is a special month for all of us.  Every December since 1994,  when my first child, Alexander was born, I've been taking family pictures every December ever-since. I love to sit down to see all these photos we've taken through all these years.  Seeing how big my kids have gotten, now they've matured.  I've been blessed with such Adorable kids and a Beautiful family".

I love to mix different elements of my pages and one of my favorites is chipboard...who doesn't like chipboard?..I love it!!

It was difficult choosing only ten, I would have like to add three more but here's my selected ten...

1- She has the music inside...

I cut in pieces and painted my chipboard.

2- Hope

I cut the chipboard to create this design and painted.

3-Organic Beauty

I sand the chipboard and then I painted with two color tones to give an antique look.

 4- Love to Create

I covered with Gesso my birdies chipboards and stamped with a sponge to create this effect .



5- Welcome Home

I painted my chipboard with crackle paint to this fantastic effect.

6- Dream 

I used my chipboard letters like a mask and painted to made my tittle.

 7- I Love Making dresses

I Just dressed the chipboard and look the effect...

 8-  Brownie Locks

A Doily Chipboard like frame.

9- Special Memories

I painted with Liquid Pearls, then hot gun and created a cool effect in my tittle.

I used a chipboard frame to create the effect of the border of the chair.
