Flying Winter Birds



This weekend, I was making some Christmas Wreath cards and thought they needed some birds :)  So I took the birds from  the Emma the Caroler/Caroling Angel Digi sets and coloured them up into 4 different birds - Snow Birds, English Robins, Blue Birds and Chickadees :)  I have uploaded them to the STORE HERE and it includes the individual images in JPG & PNG and a ready-to -print sheet full of flying birds.  I just think they are a great little embellishment for any project ;)


Have a great day!  And don't forget to HOP at our Christmas Blog Hop and get a chance to win some nice prizes :) ( until Friday NOV. 19 midnight EST)

Mrs. Fred is up first.. that's ME!  (I love that I get to play along GRIN!)



Merry Christmas!  I really enjoyed creating this Christmas Wreath. Anything you can stick a BIG BOW on, I am all over that ;)  Actually the bow was recycled off a package of Christmas socks LOL!  This card uses one of the coloured wreaths from the pre-coloured Christmas Wreath Set which has several different colours. I printed the wreath on matte photo paper as well as one of the sentiments that is included.  The background was debossed in the cuttlebug and sponged with bundled sage distress ink.  I also added glossy accents to the berries.

OK Hoppers!  Here is your first secret word.. it's " OH! "  Hee hee!   Now please go to ANNE's blog!  And please leave the girls some love along the way... they will be delighted that you did ;)

Have a great hop! :)
