Challenge Title: Birds of a Feather Flock Together
Hostess: Lori - LMcAree
Keyword: FF17LMcAree
Date: October 9, 2017


Welcome to this years Falliday Fest!! I hope you are having a great time!! I love this time of year, the weather usually isn't as nice so I have more time to craft! Hubs and I moved back "home" earlier this year and found a great place to live with lots of wildlife! One of the things we love is to watch the birds! We've seen Hummingbirds, Oriole's, Chickadees, Finches, Red Headed Woodpeckers and many others! Sadly, we aren't seeing many with the weather cooling down. My challenge to you is to have a bird(s) and/or feathers on your project. I'm looking forward to your creations!

This is a super fun challenge Lori. I can't wait to see all the fun cards. Here is mine:

Terrific challenge...especially for someone who enjoys coloring birds. Thanks.

CHICKADEE

Good morning! Thank you everyone!! I'm so glad you have enjoyed the challenge! Can't wait to see what others create! :mrgreen:

Lori, my mom has quite a few feeders in her yard ( including a deer one that brings in wild turkeys) so, they see them year around the hard part for her is keeping the bears out of her bird feeders.

Where does your mom live, Stacy?? Bears?

I was making this project for something else, but it fit so well with Lori's challenge that I had to include it here.

Birds of a Feather Refrigerator Magnets

Thanks for a fun challenge, Lori! I made mine a Halloween card with a raven:

A super challenge, Lori. I do love birds.

CAS450, FF17LMcAree, Praise with Song by Benzi - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

"Up North" Minnesota... ( IE McGregor ) its really more central but, for people who lived south of the cities for years its considered "upnorth" ( like that one word)

I love any opportunity to use this little Skating Birdie! Thanks.

I went for a faith card with feathers embossed in gold - and combined it with today's technique challenge - FF17 His Feathers TLC659 by artystamper - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

How can you not love birds? What a fun challenge. I had so many stamp choices but went with the digital image From the Heart Stamps "Seven Christmas Birds". You can see my card HERE.

I have several bird stamps, but my favorite will probably always be the Craxy Birds. They never fail to lift my mood!

FF17LMcAree Blessings by JBgreendawn - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

I went with my dream catcher stamp for this one, plus stamped extra feathers also.
I really wanted to use a bird but this was a bit quicker for me today. I've had a busy day and not much time for crafting. At least I got one card made - yay!
