Welcome to those of you who came for the Operation Write Home Groundhog Day Blog Skip! Whew... that was a mouth full! :) If you came here from Sandy's blog, you are headed the right direction.
Keeping to the theme of cards with critters, I decided to do some more birds. I love birds... they remind me of spring and I CAN'T WAIT FOR SPRING so that little groundhog had better have some good news for us today!!!
For a list of supplies and a little how-to on that chickadee, read back one post if you like. I'll provide the measurements that I used so that you could try too.
Thank you for stopping by and be sure to hop on over to Sarah's blog next. Happy Groundhog Day! Happy Cards With Critters Day! Happy Bloghopping! And keep those cards coming for Operation Write Home. You guys rock. :)
Keeping to the theme of cards with critters, I decided to do some more birds. I love birds... they remind me of spring and I CAN'T WAIT FOR SPRING so that little groundhog had better have some good news for us today!!!
My inspiration came from Pinterest where I saw a whole bunch of punch-art birds. I thought it would be fun to give it a try with my Cricut instead of a bird punch (because I don't have one... lol) I just cut that bird out of three different colored cardstocks and pieced them together to make my favorite - a little chickadee. I chose a chickadee because I think I saw one last week! How unusual for this time of year! I'm so excited for spring!
