Gone to the Dogs - and Birds


I know y'all thought you'd finally gotten rid of me......but I'm back (somewhat).  I won't be around every day but will do what I can, when I can.

Seems like everyone was born in September, October, and November in our family so lots of birthday cards need to be made.  I'm keeping them super simple and finally able to get a few done.  The first one, using those Crazy Birds from Tim Holtz is for my brother - who considers himself a birdwatcher.  He likes to sit in the comfort of his home and look out the window at the birds!  LOL!  On the second card I used a stamp set from Newton's Nook (Touchdown Tails).  This will be for one of the grandsons.  Like I said - super simple.

Thanks for stopping by......and I'll get by your blog soon.

  17. Lynn, these two a darling cards. I love the bird and the colors going with him, but I had to say that little "ref" dog and his face is just precious. Both recipients will get a good laugh. It is nice to see you when you have the time and energy. Take care and find time for yourself if you can. Enjoy the day.

  26. tim & i are EXACTLY the same kind of "bird watchers"; someone should tell him that if you put up a feeder near the window with the chair it's even BETTER!!! ps: if i could color like this i'd stamp soooooo much more! ♥
