Happy Friday my friends!
REMINDER: This weekend we SPRING AHEAD!
That's right ... Saturday night turn your clocks AHEAD one hour before you go to bed.
Other wise, you'll get to church Sunday morning only to find you missed the sermon! LOL
Now onto today's card.
I know I'm late ... I had a lot going on here today but STILL made time
to play the new challenge over at Poppystamps Challenge Blog
called "Through my Window". What fun!
There's nothing I love more than to look out my window and see birds in the trees.
We have several bird feeders in the backyard so we see
several types back there but I LOVE it when I see my FIRST ROBIN
of the spring and it's usually at the Crab Apple Tree in the front yard!
So that was my thought behind today's card.
I've used the Poppystamps 'Grand Madison Window' die to set the scene.
By simply stamping my Stampendous Branch Trio bird image onto white cardstock then sponging over top with Tim Holtz distress inks, I was able to create the scene that I viewed 'through my window'.
I had fun creating the INSIDE Wall view as well.
The 'paneled wall' is a sheet of 6x6 Basic Grey 'basics kraft paper pad' design paper.
The 'decorative' panels on the lower portion of the 'wall' are actually the 'window squares' that fall out of the Grand Madison Window die when I die cut the window a second time on the design paper. I simply spaced them across the bottom. To create the 'chair rail' I used a scrap piece from the panel wall paper ... sponged it with a cocoa color brown ink and adhered it with the lines running horizontally vs vertically. Clever huh? lol!
Here's a peek at the inside of my card using the
Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous 'Nature's Moments' stamps.
A few challenges to share in:

Well, that's it for me today.
Wishing you all a FABULOUS weekend ahead.
My new dishwasher showed up today (hubby's installing it as we speak) ... guess I need to go dirty some dishes so I can give it a try!! LOL
As always . . .
