A Little Birdie said...

Just a quick post today. This is a little bird I saw at the beach this summer. And this poem is what I say to all of you. I did not write this, the link below is where I got it from.


From 93.1 Wolf Country

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you make my favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little things can be the special things in life.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I heard you say a prayer, and I knew that there is a God I could always talk to, and I learned to trust in Him.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I learned that we all have to help take care of each other.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have to take care of what we are given.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw how you handled your responsibilities, even when you didn’t feel good, and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw tears come from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it’s all right to cry.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw that you cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I learned most of life’s lessons that I need to know to be a good and productive person when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I looked at you and wanted to say, ‘Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn’t looking’

This is one of the new Cuttlebug holiday embossing plates. I purchased a package of six and this one was part of the pack. Though I like the image, I really don't see myself using it. You can probably find some projects using this embossing plate at the Cuttlebug Challenge blog.

The winner will be posted at 2pm EST on Thursday the 19th.
Good Luck!!

Please visit the Create It Green blog to see my latest card

Old card

Since I am off to Chapel Hill today to take my daughter to a softball hitting clinic, I thought I would leave you with something to look at. Here is a card I made for the holidays last year.

Christmas bells

This is currently what I am working one. The stamp is from Holly Berry House. I need to get some red sticky tape to secure the edges better.

It was painted with Twinkling H2os.

So I am still trying to perfect this.

I honored all of my followers that had a blog and for those of you that don't have a blog, I honor you too.

It is a very rainy day today. The water is all over the place.

I will be having a new segment here on my blog. Every Friday will be a giveaway day. I have items that I do not use or want anymore and I will be raffling them off. I will start with acouple of cuttlebug folders that I received in a package order and did not want.

My Provo craft card

This is a very simple card made with a new cuttlebug embossing plate and the word "Hope" cut from my cricut expression, Home Decor cartridge.

A challenge and so many new things

Yesterday was a nice rainy day which made a great day to recover from Halloween and a day to create.

I have gotten so many new things in this past month but have not had the time of desire to play with them. So yesterday was that day.

I have become a great admirer of Melissa Phillips at Lilybean's Paperie and Sherry Wright at Seasons of Change that I just had to purchase some of the products they use like Melissa Frances products and Cavallini Papers.

This first card is a combination of those products. The background paper is an unknown paper that I picked up at a scrapbook store. The birds are from Cavallini Papers. I took the negative part of chipboard and painted it with gesso and added some white glitter on top of the wet gesso. The flower in the corner is from a ribbon that I picked up at Walmart's fabric department. The leaves around it are made with a Martha Stewart punch and I punched the packaging that it came in.

The final touches are a resin rose from Melissa Frances, faux pearls and some prima roses.
This is the close up.

The next card was made using some recycled products. I made this card for Stamptacular Sunday's challenge. The image is from Whiff of Joy. The designer paper is recycled paper from K & Company's Carolyn Gavin. The rub on saying and the glittery apples are also from Carolyn Gavin's recycled products.

Either later today or tomorrow, I will show you some of the projects I have made with my new cricut expression.
