Monday...again?

What is it about Mondays that just make you want to stay in bed?  Sundays are really busy for me with my duties at church, so I think I need Monday to recuperate from my weekend!  Oh well....life doesn't work that way, does it?  Gotta go to work if I want to get paid...and eat...and have electricity...and all those other fun things.  Moving on....

Songbird Week #3

It's Tuesday, so it's time for a card from this month's cartridge of choice, Songbird.  This card is not my usual style and very minimalist.  My husband really likes it, but I'm still not sure of it.  Tell me what you think...

I have to apologize because this is the only picture of the card I have.  I took several, however, they didn't turn out and now I've given the card away!  I am not sure what happened.  This photo isn't great, but it is the only one I have.

For the card, I cut the branch with the bird 3 times - once in brown, once in blue and once in green.  I cut out the bird and glued him on.  Then, I cut the ends of the branches off and let the green leaves show through.  I added some white accents to the leaves and added a gem for the birds eye.  The stamp is from the dollar bin at Michaels and I stamped and embossed it in white.  

I hope your Tuesday is going well.  Have a blessed day!

Songbird #2

I finally took some pictures, so I'd like to share my second card made using Songbird.  I have really enjoyed making cards from this cartridge, to my great surprise!

Songbird Card #1

Happy Wednesday!  This post was supposed to show up yesterday, but it never made it.  Oops!  I had unplanned things happen on Tuesday which prevented me from getting my pictures up in time...

Happy Saturday!

Hello everyone!  I hope you’re having a happy, relaxing Saturday!  Mine was good, but gone too fast!  I made a quick birthday card for a young girl in my children’s church class at church that’s turning 11 and I wanted to share it with you.  I used my Gypsy to weld two rounded rectangles from George & Basic Shapes, cut the mat from my new Songbird cartridge (I won it!!!), and used Paisley for the shoes.  The stamp is from the dollar bin at Michael’s.  I also used Songbird to put her name on the front of the card since I’ll be hand delivering it and not mailing it. I love the colors and hope she will too!  I’m working on a few more cards and hope to share those soon.  Until then, have a blessed evening!

Blessings,
Cheryl
