Birdhouse In Your Soul

I have another sweet Whimsy & Stars Studio image to share with you too. This little cutie, Bird House Girly, is just perfect for spring. I especially love her because I enjoy feeding and watching our local birds.


Pin It

Once again, I made 2 cards. One for my stash and one for OWH or my daughter’s schools fundraiser. They use the same design but the papers and embellishments are a little different.

While I was working on my cards, this song kept running through my head. Since it was such a long time since I heard this song, I thought I would share it on Marcea’s blog for Music Saves My Soul.

Just too cute Cheryl!! My husband and I love watching the birds at the feeder, too. Seems like they're scarce this winter though, for some strange reason. We have hardly seen any animals except squirrels, despite the warmer than usual winter we're having.

These are so adorable Cheryl. Fabulous coloring and papers. Love the little heart embellishment and the twine behind the button looks amazing.

Holley (Tondre) Barnhart said...

I just have to ask, in that Music Saves the soul image, is that girl a digi stamp, rubber stamp? she's terrific! Can you tell me what company or artist she is from? htondre@aol.com. Thanks so much.
