2nd post today ~ A bird House

Hi again, yes as promised I'm back this time with a bit of a giggle because this week at Addicted To Stamps its 'Anything but a card' week, yes the one I was dreading, I'm useless at making anything but a card so prepare yourself for a good laugh...

...you don't really want to see this do you?

....Did I mention the challenge blog name is Addicted to Stamps...

...it's a really cool blog with some fantastic DT work from the other girls...

...oh well here goes...

...one birdy house coming up...


Ok when you've stopped laughing I'll tell you how I made it lol,
I used the template from the first Magnolia Ink magazine and dressed it up with Magnolia papers, inked the edges with TH distress ink Vintage photo and added WOC flowers, MS punched leaves & flossy bits are free from the tag you receive when you buy anything from Craftobsessions.
There you have it, you dry your eyes and I'll go and add my next card lol...
luv & hugs
