Okay, birders I need your bird identification skills


I am in need of bird watchers here, because I need someone to identify this bird for me so I can color him the appropriate colors. I am not a birder, and so I am hoping someone out there in blogger land will be able to help me out :)!

4th card


I think I like this one the best out of the 3 daisy cards that I made, looks more elegant but also the blue isn't really this bright it is a nice shade of blue. What do you think???

2 more card attempts for my friends wedding invites






This is card #2 for my friend, she loved the "gate fold" style card but wanted a daisy on the front instead of the bride and groom. She also wanted a sky blue and a leafy green color to be used, but I thought I would do 2 different cards to get her opinion.











For the 3rd card, I used a light blue color and also a leafy green color...don't think I like this one here...not the right colors. Going to have to wait to see what my friend says....

Thank you cards for my sisters wedding

Christmas card


Here is a Christmas card I made this morning, I used some beautiful patterned paper that I picked up from PhotoMemories a few weeks ago it is by Holly Lane and is called Peppermint stick. One side had a beautiful Holly pattern on it, and the other side had these stripes on it. I ran the patterned paper through my Cuttlebug using my Snowflakes folder. Then I layered every stamped image and the patterned paper, to give it a very festive look to it. The stamped image of sprigs with red berries came from the set "Always" SU stamp set :)! The sentiment stamp there came with the "Season of Joy" SU stamp set, another beautiful set to get.

Wedding invites for a friend of mine







A really good friend of mine is getting married in August, it is going to be a small wedding and she has asked me to do her wedding invitations too :)! Don't worry I am almost done my sisters invites, and will be able to do my friends next...tee hee I am excited :)!










My friend wanted to have a pocket in her invitations so she could put a map in there, plus her RSVP cards. She will put her verse (or whatever you call the writing inside the invitations), it will be printed on Very Vanilla cardstock and attached on top of the yellow "pocket" center. So here is what I came up with as attempt #1, just to give her an idea of the card....she hasn't chosen a style yet...so this is what we are working on. I am sure I will have more pictures of more cards in the next couple of days :D!
