Angry Birds

For the second June Design Team challenge, we were to use granite grid paper, Mosaic Moments page pattern 23, which featured a list ladder and I chose buttons as my element to include with my design.

I recently purchased an Angry Birds flag to fly outside of my house. It took my kids a few days to notice the new flag and they were not real thrilled my purchase! Which was what I had expected from them---they think I am nuts and kindof obsessed with Angry Birds! Thus, the idea for my June page was hatched....

I play Angry Birds on my iphone and on my Nook, which makes it great for all those moments that I spend sitting in my car waiting for my kids. I took some screens shot off my iphone to use on my page and I made a list of reasons why I enjoy playing Angry Birds. The photo on the right is me in my Angry Bird t-shirt--my husband got it for me for Christmas and my kids really think I am crazy when I wear it. They have told me I can't leave the house with it on!

The font I used is called "Feast of Flesh" (sounds grim, doesn't it). I found it when I did a google search looking for the Angry Birds font. You can download it for free from here: http://www.dafont.com/font.php?file=feast_of_flesh_bb I also googled Angry Birds scrapbooking papers and downloaded 2 free kits. I got the bird icons from one kit and got the striped papers from another. http://www.sherykdesigns-blog.com/2012/01/free-printable-bithday-kit-angry-birds.html The website where I got the bird icons does not seeme to be functional tonight-maybe the birds got angry. There are similar images available here: http://angrybirds.wikia.com/wiki/File:Angry_Birds_Sheet_Full.png

I have been trying to come up with an Angry Birds layout. I love yours. Where did you get the birds for your list? Are they stickers? What a fun memory!

I love it! The graphics are terriffic, bold fonts to match the Angry Birds, and love that you used the birds themselves as the "bold points" for each of the list statements. Using pattern paper as a part of your title works so well. The little touches of hand border doodling is a very nice touch. I know very little about Angry Birds, except that someone pointed out that it seems each character could be paired with a Sesame Street Character...which I thought was interesting. As Debbi said, many years from now remembering this obsession will be like looking back at PacMan is now. Only this is a fun way to do it! Well done!

What a fun page. Anything that irritates the kids is fun! :)

So bright and fun! I haven't gotten into Angry Birds yet but there are many other games I love to play on my phone. What a great idea to document this in a scrapbook page! I love the Angry Birds characters on your list ladder, but mostly I love the last item on the list. I am also known to do things just to drive my kids nuts!!

These are the moments you NEED to scrapbook because 20 years from now, this will have the same nostalgia to you as pac man does today! :) These are the moments that make up the memories!
