Wow! Do I ever love this bird image and the complete set from Our Daily Bread Designs. As some of you know, I am a bird lover. As I said on my blog, this may be the last Christmas card I do this year, or not, as I love making them so much.
I will be sending this card to my choir director as I think the sentiment inside is so appropriate. It says,
'I will sing and make music with all my soul. Psalm 108:1
This card is also for Sheri aka KsNurse. No problem finding a card there to case. Beautiful creations. I am running about a week behind for the last few weeks. Ugh! I chose to case this card: HYCCT10, fall is here by Ksnurse at Splitcoaststampers I love that she frames many of her cards. I turned the sketch, added a fleur di lis, placed a ribbon and bow at the bottom and sentiment had to be inside. I also decided to do an 'out of the box' technique because the tail feathers and branch were perfect for it. Hope you're enjoying your reign, Sheri.

Benzalina, I see you are up to more cards. I really don't know how you get the time being so important and all!!! I'm in love with your beautiful bird. I, too, am a bird lover. Just not Santa Claus lover!! Your fleur de lise looks wonderful and the out-of-the box technique is perfect and on that nestie. Now, I must say you must have been spending too much time with Ritz as she's obsess with the Swiss Dots ef!!!! I see you chose the out-of-the box technique, as you still have not gotten your sewing machine out of zee box and started stitching on your cards. My, my!! TFS!

Da Benz is in da house! And with such a pretty card. I too love watching birds - they can be so much fun with all their antics - so this really caught my eye. We've got to get some feed out for them - haven't managed to get to that since we got home. Love the Spellbinders you've used on this. Don't have those ones - even after all my adventures in Hobby Lobby last month. Great job on the 'out of the box' technique. Looks awesome.

I must say Baa Baa Benzi, this is a perfectly themed card for your choir director. I hate when you get "smart" on me. Tryin' to take Agent 9999's position now I hear?
