This is for TLC98 and I really don't know what I was thinking when I purchased this set. This is the first time I've made a card with it. I was bound and determined to complete this challenge and as you can see I got the limbs going backwards as I wasn't thinking Maybe I'm just uncomfortable as I think it would look so much better with the vines coming out of the left side. Oh and....aren't you impressed by how that splindly little vine can hold up three chubby birds. What was I thinking? So just to make it a little worse I went with the staples as an embellishment as I am not a fan of those either but wanted to get double bonus points ...snicker! Oooops....I almost forgot to say that SweetMissDaisy's RAK card was the inspiration for this.

Thank you so much for posting this card with your side-splitting description!!!!!!!!!! Even with all the things you don't care for on this card, it still has a LOT going for it! My DH and my cat both agree with me!

Kittie, THANK YOU!!!! I have this set too and tried using it once and put the whole thing away. But NOW you have inspired me (like that's a new thing.. NOT). I could never match the flowers or whatever with the vine.. You have solved that dilema by stamping several times with different colors. I feel so silly for not having thought of it myself. I LOVE this card and this set again! Hooray. Oh and you can never go wrong with those darling little chubby birds!! lol

Kittie, you are your own worst critic. I'm sure any one of us here at SCS would LOVE to get one of your beautiful creations! This is just gorgeous no matter what you think! LOL

OH, you are too funny!!! Your birds are colored gorgeously, the vines/flowers are pretty and I, too, despised staples when I first saw them being put on cards a couple years ago; however, I have learned to accept, and almost, like them. I do use them on occasion -- especially on tags. TFS!!!
