This is my place to share with family and friends. You might find handmade cards, digital scrapbook pages, photos or a little chatter because those are the things I love. My blog is a work in progress, so be patient with me. Most of the time I think I will be talking to myself, but hey, I'm used to that!

A little brown bird....

watching it from my window inspired me to make this little brown card. Now let's see if I can remember what a used to make it. I didn't write it down as I usually do. Brown textured cardstock from Bazzill. Cuttlebug embossing folder. Bird stamp from Stampin Up's Garden Collage set. Thanks for looking.

Oh this is so beautiful! I never would have thought to use the CB paper as a mat for an image!

I have some TAC collage images that you are inspiring me to use! I have been wondering what do with them...of course, that did not keep me from buying them...:)

This is beautiful! The CB folder is great...I have not thought of cutting it down and scalloping it! Very nice:)

Until this past week, I think that being inspired by brown would have been easy! Now we are under a blanket of white (and cold)!
