Bluebird

Heart's Delight Cards, Flying Home, Hello, Thoughtful Banners, Stampin' Up!

I just had to make another card with a bluebird on it, but this time I used Pacific Point to color him. It looks closer t the true color of the cutie-patootie flying gems we have around here.

Gotta keep this post short since I have a TON of things to try and get caught up on this weekend. I'm trying to take advantage of being stuck indoors on this rainy day, so there is much paperwork being done. Sadly, none of it involves cardstock.

I'm hoping to reward myself tomorrow with some quality crafting time IF I get my adulting finished by tonight. Heh. Wish me luck.

MIF Design Challenge #4 - Spring Colors!

https://myinkyfriends.blogspot.com/2017/12/my-inky-friends-challenge-4.html

Here's the latest design challenge from My Inky Friends, and the inspiration came from page 70 of the Stampin' Up! 2017 Annual Catalog. Now that Spring is here (well, for some people anyway, LOL), and Easter is right around the corner, this color challenge is perfect with its Spring-y colors!

I was inspired to use the cute floral birdhouse image in Flying Home because the bluebirds are back here in East Tennessee, yay! I thought this was so appropriate; not only for the bird, but the flowers as well.

It's a fun-fold card, and the image panel covers up the greeting panel inside. Both panels are matted on Blushing Bride cardstock, and I left the greeting off the inside, but added the adorable butterfly and bee. I'll jot a personal note before sending it.

New Home Welcome, Again!


I had no sooner finished the card for our daughter, when I heard from a friend that she and her hubby had sold their house in California and moved to Colorado! They are realizing their dream to get away from the city and live a country life, and I'm so happy for them that they don't have to wait until they retire to do it!


I happened to have an extra image stamped from yesterday's card, so it was quick to color and put together. This time it WAS appropriate to use the Pinewood Planks folder, LOL.
