Waltzingmouse Blog Party - June 2012

Blog-Party-Logo 70%25
Happy Father's Day and Happy Sunday! This month's Blog Party challenge theme is to use an inspiration photo...wow, it is just so beautiful too.  The colors are so bold and striking and work so well in making my card.  I pulled both the rectangles and the branch from the photo to use as inspiration for my card and I have to say that I am very please with the end results.  I have this wonderful orchard tree frame die from Memory Box and I just cut off the trunk and outside edge (thanks Joyce!) and ran it through my xyron, next I cut out a couple of adorable birds using the PTI dies from Bitty bird additions.  Actually this card was one that pretty much made itself once I pulled out the supplies I wanted to use.  It is quite fun to watch this in action, hmmmmm, maybe I should set up a secret camera in my craft room??? Just a thought.  Here is my card and thanks for taking a peek!

  7. This is so sweet, Kim! Beautifully executed! LOL about setting up a "secret" camera. Cracked me up! Now me? I could actually do that 'cause I'd forget the dang thing was there, but the thought of you doing it made me laugh out loud!
