First of all, I would like to introduce my granddaughter (my new Avi) who has been visiting. She turned three months old yesterday and is easily the apple of my eye!
Secondly, Congratulations to GABBY! Gabby has such a fantastic gallery!!! There are so many different styles from the cute to the macabre. My favorite is the phenominal backgrounds she sponges and has layers of stamps. They are incredible!!!
This card is inspired by her card: CAS152 Birthday Wishes Card by gabalot at Splitcoaststampers
I am also using this card for WT401, Birds of a Feather...using a bird and FA143 Black & White and Red (read) all over...using newsprint or stamped print.
It has been such a wonderful time with my granddaughter, but I did want to be sure to honor Gabby. She is a very kind soul who is so giving and caring and always thinking of others. Congratulations again Gabby!!!
Thanks for taking a peek everyone, and I apologize if I did not respond to a comment. They are always appreciated!!!

Gorgeous granddaughter..oh and the chick-a-dee is pretty, too! Wonderful CASE of Gabby's card and with all the challenges on this card you're giving Neva a run for her money! Glad you're having fun with the tiny one!
Time is grinding to a halt with Thanksgiving & Christmas fast approaching...just have enough time to say this is REALLY GREAT!...How do you have time...Don't think I'll be posting anything until 2013!

Avi is a doll! Terrific card! I had forgotten all about the card you chose. I did an order for an antique store and had that tag leftover. Nice inking on your newsprint. Looks soft w/a little tea stain. Your bird is nicely colored. Thank you for helping me celebrate!
