This layout includes pictures of the three of us(Calendar Girls) at a crop together and receiving our Gypsies. Both of those days we had a blast, so I thought that I would commemorate it in a layout. The title 'Birds of a Feather' pretty much sums us up!
To start off with I used Core'dinations cardstock as my base for this layout. Then I cut out the 'top note' shape that is on page 61 in the handbook. It is cut at 9 3/4" and then layered with a dark brown piece of cardstock that was cut just a 1/4" bigger. The flowers and button are from Bo Bunny. They just add that little bit extra!

The bird is cut at 7 1/2" and is from page 66 in your handbook. I then cut out our names at 3/4". I would never go any smaller than that with this font. The ribbon is of coarse Bo Bunny(I seriously love it and want it in every color now!).
This journalling tag is from an Anna Griffin journalling stack. I stamped it with a couple of CTMH stamps. One to make the lines and the other to match my bird theme.
Don't we look like we are having a good time? We totally were!
The title was cut at 4 3/4" and layered on its shadow.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Make sure you leave comments all week so you can win a ton of Bo Bunny embellishments and acrylic album! Also, we are giving away a Wedding Solutions cartridge this week!
If you are looking for an in depth look at CHA then head over to Christine's Scrap Time blog. I have followed this blog for several years now and if I had been unable to go this year I would be parked over there now. She gets interviews with all the industry greats and talks latest trends and techniques. I was lucky enough to met her in person in Anaheim and she is just the sweetest! Seriously, her blog is definitely one you should add to your daily routine!
Make sure you come back tomorrow to see Joy's FABULOUS fancy card!
Have a wonderful day!

Wow! What a cute layout! I always love the look of patterned paper as a base for a page, but I'm always scared to try it. :)
This paper has such great colors, and the multiple patterns go together so smoothly. I tend to go more simple on a page, but really need to try more layers as I love this look.
Debbie (from Sugar Land)
