 It is the end of the week already!! I have more Spellbinders birdhouses to share. This is the 'fall' birdhouse, and yes, it is my favorite. Without the usual chatter, lets just show some of the cards.

Same 'fall' die, just cut shorter

They are easy to make and so versatile!

Thanks for looking,

 More cute little birdhouses! This is the Summer birdhouse. Looks pretty nautical! Lots of cute ideas online if you go look.

                                Needs kind of a 'summery' sentiment.

                                                    

                           Goofy little bird!  Thanks for looking today!

Friday,

 Good morning! This is a fun post for me as I absolutely love these dies. They are the dies from Spellbinder by Vicky Papaioanno. This is a selection of her videos, and the next link is a copy of the link for her birdhouse designs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmAWt244pbw The dies are 'birdhouses through the seasons'. Of course you need all 4 dies which include flowers, fences, branches, teeny seashells, pumpkins, leaves... just depends on the seasonal set you choose. Then you must add on the little bird dies. Here is the spellbinders link to the sweet birds set. https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/sweet-birds-on-a-branch-etched-dies-from-birdhouses-through-the-seasons-by-vicky-papaioannou/   Hope you enjoy my ideas & the many more links here!

             We will start today with the Spring set.

              Even though these are featured on black or green cs, This is the 'Spring set', This idea came from Yana Check this out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En8Mg9_mYnE  

 

                          I am suprised that I only did one 'spring' birdhouse in another format. Don't you just love the silly birdie??

                     Tomorrow we share another birdhouse!
                                    Thanks for looking!!

                                      Using some  of my flowers is a good thing!

 What better day to blog than a holiday! Well, it is supposed to be 106 degrees here. Sooo, that means staying at home is easier than driving with an oven mitt. Not covid. 

                          This is a Pinkfresh Studio stamp & co-ordinating stencil. They are called Heartfelt Thanks. The card below was colored with copic markers onto lt. lavendar card stock.

                  The lighter one is the one colored using the stencil set.

                               Embellished with memory box 'moon drops'

                                       Thanks for looking!

                   Forgot to show you my cute little 'mini' slimline.

       That is a punch I used on the edges for the first time in a long time! And isn't that stamp versatile? Love it!

                                               Thanks again!

 I promised a card post and this is it! Pretty short and sweet (?) cute. This is a stamp from Woodware. Fits the slim line cards perfectly.

                     Isn't the peeking gnomie cute?

 I masked off the gnome & mushroom then stenciled with a pink fresh stencil combo. There are 2 of them.

                                  Thanks for looking!

September

Lucy got a new toy and she wants to show you! Actually she looks for toys when we shop. She sniffs out her balls. It is sooo cute!!

             You can really see the blue 'lower' half of her eye. The other eye is blue at the upper half.  Adorable, almost 3 years old.

               One more thing to share, then I will share some cards.

                                   Our backyard  flowers

 

 

 These are really pretty now. There are some lavendar and white ones too. It may be September, but it is still over 100 degrees. 

             Thanks for looking & we will do a little card 'post'.
