Stampin! with Jaydee

 

I began by stamping and die-cutting my little robin and then die-cut and blended browns onto the nest.  I choose my favorite stencil - Knit Wits - to add background to my scene.  All I needed to do was to stamp Happy Birthday, die-cut and color some eggs and the card was ready.   Sadly, we won't get to see the robins nesting in our wreath on the front doors this year.  We decided not to put up the wreaths as the house will be on show, and I didn't want to stress the robins with the comings and goings of prospective buyers.  However, we have loved watching them hatch through the glass door panel for the last couple of years and this card was in honor of those little babies that took their first flight from our wreath!

 

Here's my card:

Looking at the card, I realize that I didn't add some brown speckles to the eggs!  Oh, well, too late now :-)   I hope you will join us and play along with our challenge.  We really would love to see what you create with this theme.  As always, the design team have some fabulous inspiration for you:

On a personal note:

Well, the last week has been stressful to say the least!  Trying to organize a move and purge the house and pack all in a couple of weeks ..... but, most of that is behind us now.  The house is almost ready for sale... but not quite.  The flat has all the contents we moved, but not much is in the places it should be going in.  Right now, we just don't have the storage to unpack everything.  However, there are two fabulous cupboards in the entry way that we will convert into a pantry and storage area, but we are waiting for the units to come from Ikea, so for now..... we still have lots of boxes we can't unpack.

Last night Lou and I decided to have dinner and celebrate with some wine and beer.  Great idea!  MMMMM.... where's the corkscrew and the bottle opener?   NO IDEA!  Luckily the wine bottle had a screw top, so I was good.  Lou tried everything to get the cap of his beer  - but no luck!  Then we went to cook dinner - and couldn't find the can opener for the coconut milk for Thai curry!  So, first things today - find the kitchen implements that are missing!   I can't unpack my craft room as my new storage cupboard only arrives on Friday!

I'll be back later in the week.  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.

Hugs

Jaydee
