Stamp With Us online Challenge - Birdhouse

I made this ultra cute birdhouse with a template given at the Stamp With Us online group. This is so super easy to do and looks absolutely fabulous. As you can see I made 3 x 3 note cards to fit inside it. I used matching desinger paper for the cards. I also made matching envelopes using my cricut cart wild card. First time I have been able to use this cart succesfully. Yay.

Hope you love this as much as I do. Would love to hear what you all think.

Hugs

Update - The lovely Angie asked which envelope I used from the Wild card cart. I used the square envelope cut at 4 inches. The stamp came from the imaginisce range. It was very cheap (no pun intended) costing only £1.49 from HobbyCrafts.

Party

Well I have not had time to make anything today - sniff, sniff. I have had a mental day. I cleaned the house this morning. I ran out to buy a baby pressie for my friends newborn. I popped in to see the family. Very cute baby by the way. Her 3 year old boy dragged me a walk - short one he said. 3 miles later. Conned by a 3 year old lol.

Just as well cause I didn't get the chance to go on my walking machine today :(

I then zoomed home after being at my friends longer - but I was forced to have a wee hold of the bub. He is so cute. So tempted to smuggle him out of the house. She would have noticed though.

I then came home and made pancakes - thanks Angie for the recipe - YUM. Then I got ready for my first stampin up party. I had a whopping 11 people in my kitchen plus my cousins 8 month old. Anyway a great night was had by all. I even earned a hostess bonus. a free stamp and money to spend on goodies - fab.

So off to get ready for wee cousins wedding tomorrow.

Project Tuesday

I was a bit worried when I saw the instructions for this project. It looked very difficult and I almost bottled it. But I persevered and I am glad I did. I made the box quite plain. but added some nice bright coloured pattern paper on the front. I cut my circles with my mini monograms cart. I coloured the image with watercolour pencils. I cut the scallop circles on the box with my cricut too.

I added some extra bling with my stickles. The flower is made up with 3 different colours of flowers from my stash.
