For the Love of Birdhouses!

Hello Everyone! I have one gigantic post for you today! I just love all the birdhouses that Sandy over at Scribbles by Sandy has been creating!  I couldn't decide what image to use, so I just used them all and made a mini set out of them!  If you haven't discovered Sandy's wonderful site, and her lovely images, go HERE!
Ok, are you ready, it's a bit of a read, but I pray you won't be sorry! Then if you'd like, I'd love to hear which one you liked best!

For this one, I love blue as you can see and I thought that the tulips should stand on their own so I coloured them pink.  I am entering this card in For Fun challenges- just for fun.

I just love the little birdie on this one! I framed it in black to highlight the image frame!  I am entering this card in Stampin' Sister's in Christ's challenge - Use something new.  For this I have used a new clear sentiment stamp and the new digi stamp.

I love yellow roses (they mean friendship)and thought this image needed a yellow touch to it! This card I'm entering in Stamp and Create challenges - Anything Goes (monthly). This is a new challenge blog to me and looks fun!

 I printed out a second copy of this image and thought I'd give it a more delicate look.  I am entering this card in Sweet Stampin's challenge - glitter, bling, shine, sparkle.  I love the pearls on this and every girl who goes out with pearls shines in the spotlight.

I tried to give this one a bold look.  I think the two birds are hopefully having a "nice" chat atop the roof! I'm entering this card in Paper Creations Ink challenge - love and romance.  These birds have a wonderful place to share with each other.

I love the rose garden this little birdie looks to be guarding!  I am entering this card in Designed 2 Delight's challenge - Create a card with a heart.  I love the tiny hearts on this birdhouse so I thought it would fit! I am also entering this card in Penny's Paper-Craft challenge - To use birds.

I really liked this image to so I printed off a second of it as well.  This one making a bit more bold to highlight the black in it's border! I am entering this card in Annabelle Stamps challenge - Anything goes.

For me, this one is all about the ribbon and the sweet bows! I love buttons to so this one gets some.  I am entering this card in Sentimental Sunday's challenge - Ribbon + a sentiment.
Well, did you make it to the bottom?  Hope you enjoyed the cards I have to share with you today.  Remember leave me a comment of what one you liked best.  Thanks so much for dropping by! Hugs!

Annabelle Button Red

Today I have my third card for Annabelle Stamp's birthday challenge.  If you haven't had a chance to check them out than hop on over Here to see what all the fun is about.  Even if you've missed the previous challenges, you can catch up since they all end on the 14th.  So it's not to late if you want to join in. 
This challenge it is being hosted by Patti and Marion.  The challenge is to create a card/project that has 2 of something starting with B.  So this is what I have come up with.  Yes I know I have the same image as the previous two, but I just love it and wanted to do another take on it.  I left out a sentiment so that it could be used for any occasion.  For my two B's I included 2 Blooms and 2 Buttons.  I enjoyed trying out my new Cuttlebug embossing folder (Victoria) to add some texture to the card.  I don't have a Cuttlebug machine -yet! so I used a good old rolling pin instead.  Unfortunately it didn't show up that well in the photo.  I used some pop up glue dots to lift the center panel off the card.

I loved these buttons so I thought I'd just take a close up for you all to see them.  I tied them on with embroidery thread since I lots left over from cross-stitching projects.
Thanks for stopping by!

Annabelle Thinking of You

Today I have another card for Annabelle Stamps.  It is their second birthday challenge this week so hop on over to check out all their birthday celebrations.  This challenge is being hosted by Sue K and Stephanie.  The challenge is Blooms/Flowers.  Since I only have one Annabelle stamp at the moment and they like it if you use their stamps (although you don't have to) I thought I'd do another take on this image.
For this card I tried something new.  I used a couple of little rivets shaped like flowers and tied some ribbon through them.  It was really easy to do I don't know why I never tried them before.  I love trying new things!
 I also added some glitter to some of the flowers on the patterned paper and also to the flower's anthers but it doesn't show in the photo. 

Supplies:
Image/Stamp: Annabelle birthday flower digi stamp

Papers:          ATD Momenta and misc cardstock
Accessories:  Flower rivets, DecoArt Twinkles writer in Silver, & some misc ribbon
