Do what you love . . .

I think that is wonderful advice!!

Good Afternoon Bloggers!
I'm running a bit behind today ... had to take care of a thank you card order that was commissioned the other evening.  So, now that it's taken care of, I can get back to a few challenge cards and other crafting fun!

I actually started putting this card together the other day (for a different purpose) and since this cut piece of design paper was in my way I figured I'd best just turn it into a card and be done with it!   So what do you think??


 This Webster's Pages design paper was cut to fit an A-6 card which meant I had an extra strip left over.  I started doing a Washi Tape corner banner in the upper right corner then decided I didn't like it so I took that EXTRA piece and simply adhered it over the top and added a strip of ribbon to hide the seam.  Came together quiet nicely I think!!  LOL

I wanted to use this adorable Cheery Lynn Birdhouse I had laying on the work table so instead of utilizing the one that was already printed on the design paper, I simply did a little fussy cutting around the flower petal and inserted the birdhouse over the existing one.  
What a great opportunity to use my new Poppy Stamps 'peaceful bird' too.

A few challenges:
A Creative Romance - Jenny's Bingo Game (Ribbon-Charm-Bow)
Challenges and Candies #28 - Spring Around the Corner
Craftitude Challenge #59 - Anything Goes
Jellypark Challenge - Things with Wings

 Well that's my share for today!
Now I'm going back to 'doing what I love' ... crafting!
