Hello friends! For those in America....I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Not only do I have plenty of leftovers from our meal yesterday, but I also have lots of leftovers laying around on my craft desk. The Ways To Use It Challenge on Splitcoaststampers yesterday was to use up some of those crafty leftovers...so, I put some of them to good use and finished a couple of Christmas cards featuring two birds of the season.
Creative Nugget: My leftover scraps were turned into banners and stitched together to make the background for this Winter Chickadee. The stamps, dies, and papers used are from Our Daily Bread Designs and include Winter Chickadee, Winter Cardinal, Holly Jolly Paper Collection, Pierced Rectangles, Double Stitched Circles, Circles, Pennant Flags and Double Stitched Pennant Flags.
These cards will be submitted for the following challenges:
Thanks so much for stopping by...have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs,
