When Buelah won a Bird and Breakfast in a settlement she tried to attract some new guests but the rif-raf seemed to be taking over....that is until Crafty Chloe came along and offered Buelah a deal.....She would spruce up the place and bring some of her ar-teest friends along and soon others would follow and an ar-teest colony would be born....all Buelah had to do was keep the fresh birdseed coming and the water pots filled in the butterfly garden....the ar-teests are sure to stay as long as there is food and inspiration.....
sounds like a win-win to me....kinda like this weeks teaparty.....see here for details:
this card was inspired by the note cards I found in the $1 bin at Michaels with the butterfly girl....added a lot of stuff I found in the scrap box and leftover pile....
I'm definitely playing in the destination game this week and if the person to my left in the gallery wants this wacky card, I'll gladly send it to you....
TFL....

Awesome card Sheri! Love the idea of an ar-teest colony, and with Crafty Chloe's decorating skills, methinks you'll be attracting the bestest ar-teests in the land! LOVE this beauty!

Hey no fair! I probably saw those note cards in the $1.00 bin at Michaels 42,000 gazillion times and I never thought to do this! You stinker! Ha! Oh, this is too cool and I am a little relieved at this news.....Beulah is beginning to really get to me with all of her supposed singing, I mean marketing! This card rocks! I am tickled you are playing. I will pm hot wheels to let her know her card goes to you. She was unsure what to do.

Looks like a lot of talented birdies are winding their way to Beulah's new B & B, especially since Crafty Chloe spruced the place up!
Heck, I want to come out and get a room and be surrounded with all that talent!!
This is a real vintage beauty, and to think your creativity got sparked by Michael's $1 bin!! Love where you took this card with that crafty brain of yours!

Wow, gorgeous card! I love the vintage elements. I hope Craft Cloe guards her artist friends' birdseed, since my chipmonks are eating everything in sight, LOL! Fun and gorgeous, TFS!!!!
