I would like to thank Kathi at 613 Avenue Create
for the cute bird dies I used on today's card.
Kathi sent me a package of goodies for playing along
with their annual block party in January. Thanks so much.
I fell in love with these sweet bird dies she sent me.
I thought they would make wonderful silhouettes so I cut them in black.
To get the two shades of blue I inked up the sky part of the embossing folder,
ran it through my Cuttlebug then framed it with a blue card stock frame.
To finish off my card I added the die cut sentiment.
Okay I think I need to explain this photo. LOL.
Since it gets dark before I get home I've been trying to
take my blog photos at school during my afternoon break.
When I was trying to take my photos of this
card the 4th and 5th graders were out on recess.
The picture above is the only one I got without feet running through it.
I jokingly told the kids their feet were going to be on my blog tonight
and well that is all it took to get a photo filled with feet. LOL.
Times like these are priceless and remind me why I'm a teacher.
