Get Connected Online Crop- A really 'TWEET" challenge

Are you ready to get connected?? When the idea for a social media based crop was suggested I kind of scratched my head a bit. Um, exactly how does one create a layout based on Facebook or Email??? Well, always up for a challenge, the design team has come up with some FABULOUS ideas that will stretch the bounds of your creativity. For my social media tool I was given "TWITTER". I don't tweet and really wasn't too sure what Twitter is all about but the first thing that came to my mind was to use a bird on your project. Simple right? So that's what I did! I even found a photo that was centered on the bird theme:


I popped up my owl and tree for some dimension (gotta use those foam dots!!)
 
 
I thought using the '@' symbol added a bit more of that techie feel LOL
 
SO, to participate in this challenge there must be a bird somewhere on your card, layout or altered project. Also, just for fun, keep all letters (title, journalling etc) to under 140 characters because that's the rule for a Tweet.


Once you have completed each challenge, upload a photo of it to our Layout Gallery and link it back to the appropriate challenge thread in the Forum. (ALL LAYOUTS MUST BE CREATED JUST FOR THIS CROP to qualify for prizes. ) Finally, each layout will count towards only ONE challenge. Be sure to upload no later than February 18th at 11:59 pm. There is a special category in the Layout Gallery for each challenge and participants MUST post a photo of their project under the correct category in the Gallery to be eligible for any prizes
