Watch the Birdie

By
It's Make My Monday time again and the challenge to go with our Men and Boys theme is Birds/Animals. I have chosen Birds and I have used my gorgeous Young Vermillion stamp - take a look


I also used my Lovely as a Tree to make my background. The colours I have used are Chocolate Chip and Sage Shadow - my birdy is coloured with pencils.
There is a fabulous prize up for grabs this month and all the details are on the blog and while you are over there checking that out don't forget to check out all the other fantastic dt cards from my lovely team mates.
See you soon folks - I am rationed on the computer at the moment due to my lap top taking a trip to the shop to be mended, I have to be really nice to my hubby and bat my eyelids so I can borrow his!
Bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    I like the way you've stamped the background for this card and that bird is a really good stamp to have - great card.

    This is lovely Jacqeline! I love the Young Vermillion and he looks brilliant on your leafy background. Your comment about batting your eyelids at your hubby made me smile - I had a sudden vision of Jessica Rabbit! Vicky x

So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr
