      Thank you. I've done it as a page in an A4 journal. I haven't decided yet whether they will all be journal pages. A large page gives lots of scope but takes more time. I might have to see letter by letter. Good luck. I'm looking forward to seeing all the different entries xx

      I used to be a crazy twitcher but much calmer about it all now! It's a hobby you can take with you practically anywhere.

    I love this! I'm a birder too, but I went for a bunting rather than binoculars!

      Thank you. I spend more time crafting than birding nowadays...not enough time to do it all!

    Love the idea of using b for binoculars! I'm not sure I qualify as a full blown twitcher but I do like to watch the birds in the garden. We've had a trio of long tailed tits the last few days and they're just lovely. Looking forward to seeing what everyone does as this challenge progresses. Super lay out, thanks for the inspiration.

      Thank you. Long-tailed tits are my favourite British breeding bird, like fluffy winged mice x

    Lovely page and great choice of word too. The background is full of yummy layers (in a crafty way!)

    An excellent page and a great choice for "B". I like the frame around the focal image, it makes it look like a fabric scrap. Lovely.

      Thank you. I agree about the fabric look but by chance rather than design!

    I love your page. I've got binoculars on the kitchen windowsill to check up on any birds but worry the neighbours may think I am over nosey :) xx

      Thank you. On the other hand you can be nosey and then claim to be bird watching! ;-)

    Amazing, Claire! The background is stunning, and I was looking for the binocular, and that stamp is so perfect. Well done!

    What a perfect beginning to this challenge I missed the first time around. Your feathers look like they were embossed. They are very textural, as is the focal image. I adore the use of the binoculars, and since you said they fit your lifestyle, an even better incentive to use the word.
