See this cute little bird? Well, he was missing in action for a few days at the stamping retreat I attended a few weeks ago. We drove through St Cloud, MN on our way to the retreat, and of course had to stop & use our coupons at Crafts Direct. I was SO excited to see the new Inkadinkado stamp sets out, that I had seen at CHA in February! SCORE! I got this cute Amy Smyth stamp set called "The Flourish Pack"! I was revved up to stamp a ton of cards with it at the retreat!
And then I realized I left the bag on the counter at Crafts direct. DANG! So I HAD to make do without my new stamp sets all weekend. Luckily when I called, they still had the bag sitting there, and they held it for me. So on the way home from the retreat, we picked it up. ANYWAY, last Saturday I finally got to play with this set! This layout came about because I stamped the images sort of lopsided. So I just ran with it & cut the paper so that it didn't look weird. The birds are colored in with Copic markers. The paper was from the clearance bin at Archivers, and I forgot to keep a scrap of it with the paper name on it so that I could tell you what it is!
It's definitely Monday!

Hi Lisa, love your blog and all of your creations! I really love them because you do multiples and use different layouts. Thanks for sharing! Birds are really in this year.

Great card. Such fun to hear the history behind it. The layout is wonderful - I tried to do a bunch of them last summer - each one was, well, unique. I sorta can't cut as well as I imagined ....
Oh yeah - these cards are STRIKING - gorgeous! LOVE them! I love that you always make adjustments based on what you've done and just make it WORK!!!
LZ this are just the cutest!
And that bird...CUTE!
Your layouts are always fun.
