MAWTT - Birds or Feathers

 Hello... I hope you are all doing ok today... it's the turn of Team B once again at


and the lovely Jessie is hosting this week and has chosen a fab theme! :-))

'Birds or Feathers'

Interpret this how you like... you could feature a bird and/or feathers...use a feather image, die, punch or even a real feather!!

I was really pleased to have this theme as I got a feather die with magazine a while back which I've been wanting to try out. So I began by cutting out a couple of feathers but then didn't know what to do with them!! Lol so had to do some heavy brainstorming..... and a lot of ideas came together to make this Christmas Wall Hanging...


Image: E-Vint
Die: Feather and Star, both free with magazine
Papers, Banner and Frames: Raspberry Road Designs
Quote: from It's a Wonderful Life... 
Stash: Flower, Sleigh Bells, Star Charm, Ribbon, Twine

Here's how my brainstorming went... you might have heard the saying ... Feathers appear when Angels are near... so I looked through my vintage images for some Angels... when I saw this image from E-Vint and saw the bells! I immediately thought of It's A Wonderful Life... Every Time a Bell Rings, An Angel Gets it's Wings... I found some Papers and Elements in my Raspberry Road Designs folders. I changed the tone of the frames and banner to match my project.


Here's the creation hanging.... and as you can see I've added some Sleigh Bells to the ribbon/twine! so there will be lots of 'Angels getting their Wings' when this is hung in our hall at Christmas! ;-)

I hope you can pop over to our main site at MAWTT and see the rest of the Team's Bird/Feather creations!! and hope you can join us in this fun challenge.

Thanks for all your lovely comments, I really do appreciate them!
Will catch up with you all soon!
Love and hugs
