Bird watchers have to be very calm and quiet - this being a challenge in itself for the teapot ladies!!! Still they come to the party in the best of spirits and with wonderful creations.

What a wonderful way to use that flourish - I think I've only managed to use it once ever. Gorgeous little birdhouse complete with tweet birds. And oh my, those little spoon brads are just perfect. I couldn't think of ANYTHING to match the stuff hanging outside the house. Not without raiding my sister's old dolls house - and thats 200 miles away.

OMG! This card has the most awesome dimension to it! Its wonderful Lorraine! I love that you made your little birdies blue, they are easy to spot that way! And the shape of this card just rocks.
I always love seeing which direction my teapots take you. Your cards are unique and creative always. I agree with Sabrina on the spoon brads! The perfect embellishment. I had trouble coming up with something decent for that part of the teapot so I just didn't! Bwahaha!
Thank you so much for coming. I love seeing you every week and thank you for the link too! I think the girls are really well behaved this week. Maybe those raptors I hired as chaperones this week are quite effective! Snort!

This turned out great. I really like the way you added the perch. Those birds are so pretty in their blues. Great job. The birdhouse has a super shape..TFS and you can sit by me since you have the spoons. I was afraid we were eating bird seed.

WOW!! This is absolutely beautiful, Lorraine!!! What a great idea to do a shadowbox technique with the birdhouse. I love your birds. I never heard of that technique to use the white gel pen, then color with marker. It turned out wonderful. LOVE IT!
