This TSC just came together by accident. We were to "pull something off of a store bought card" and create another card of our own. I got a birthday card some years ago and it had these sweet little birds popped up on it. I kept that card and shifted it around and around on my work top for ever! I also practiced a new faux wood technique I learned from Gina K using my Scorebuddy and direct to paper Distress Ink pad and I just happen to have a dollar stamp still in the wrapper laying there too. Along with all that, I dropped one of my little rub-on booklets and it fell open to this sentiment. So a theme came to mind and I decided I needed branches in my background so out came the MS punch!!!

Your faux wood is the coolest - I will have to go watch that tutorial (she had the best tutorials - I just started watching them but I love them). This card is precious and I love your story!
