Make a Wish!


Hi, Friends!

It seems like it's feast or famine for me here on my blog.  But, I've been busy with projects due for next month.  Last weekend was busy with friends and family.  Life in general gets busy at times.

I did manage to get a birthday card made for my friend, Barb.  I purchased an awesome die from Reverse Confetti (Striped Frame Cover Panel), and I'm entering this card over at Happy Little Stampers.  Did I need another die?  Well, ummm...nope, but I love it!  I can see myself using this die a lot.  I'm already thinking of cards for Christmas that I can make with it.  Ok, without further delay here is my card...

For my card I started with a white card base and added the die cut frame from Reverse Confetti.  I water colored the balloon die, which is from Paper Sweeties(Happy Cake Day) with distress oxide ink of worn lipstick.  Twine from SU was added for interest.  The sentiment is from PTI(Birthday Cheer) and embossed.  PTI rhinestones to finish the card.

I thought I'd add a photo of two little sweet birds that I saw on my deck a few days ago...


I'm not sure, but possibly the momma bird is to the left and the baby bird to the right.  Before I knew it, the momma bird flew next to the baby bird.  I was able to snap a photo while looking out my kitchen window.  I just love watching the birds that come into the yard!  And, here is the momma bird sitting right next to the baby bird...


And, they seemed to listen very well when I told them to look at the camera...lol!  Ok, well that's all I have for now.  Take care and have a wonderful rest of the week!  Thanks so much for dropping by!

Hugs,
Maria
