More bird things from me...love these little birdhouses from Art Impressions. I cut the sentiment off that encirled the complete image. I watercolored my image to look old and worn.
The colors I used came from The Play Date Cafe challenge #70. They are so bright and cheerful.
The dp has been embossed with a distressed embossing folder and I added leaves made from Kraft cardstock. The frame is a Heartfelt Creations exclusive die made for them by Spellbinders. It has window panes but I removed them for this particular design.
I cannot claim to have made my zipper flower. I have seen a tutorial on making these but I found mine in Wal-Mart. I was checking out some ribbon and looked down the aisle and there it was. That was quite a surprise!

Well. First it was zippers in the scrapbooks. Made me quit buying scrapbook magazines (except Simple Scrapbooks, which is no longer published). Now it's zipper flowers. What will they think of next, I ask you.

Benzi this is FABULOUS!! I love those bird houses too - and you've colored them so perfectly. Love the textures and colors here, and love that zipper flower. Walmart... going to have to look for that - it's very cool. Wonderful design.
