Sweet Birds

It's a new year and time for me to use some new products.  Not just newly purchased, but things I bought (who knows when) and have never used!!  I'm also on a mission to use my stash of beautiful patterned paper whenever I can.  I love the pretty paper and buy it, but then don't know what to do with it!

This year, I'm also going to try to enter more challenges.  So here is where I'm entering my card:












Where Creativity Meets C9

Dies R Us Challenge #64 - Anything Goes Using Dies

Flickr LOVE!--Handmade Cards, ATCs January Challenge Anything Goes

This card uses new to me Concord & 9th's By Your Side Bird Die.  I just love these sweet birds!!

This one gets some patterned paper from an Authentique 6x6 paper pad I've had forever!  The sentiment is also Concord & 9th's By Your Side Stamp set.  The frame is My Favorite Things Pierced Rectangle Frames.  I used Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink to create the yellow background and also on the birds along with Broken China.



 Thank you for taking a look!

    Wonderful goals and I do the same thing with papers. The papers you chose are the perfect background for the beautiful birds. Blue and yellow has always been one of my favorite combos. Thanks so much for joining us at Dies R Us Challenge Blog. We look forward to seeing more of your creations.

    So Beautiful! I've been seeing these birds around blogland and have managed to resist, but now I've seen your card - I need them pronto! I love how you've put the floral pape in the background:)
