Birds of a Feather

Susan, with Busy With The Cricky, is our hostess for the week at BBTB2.  She has asked us to use a birdcage in our project or card.  Come join our challenge and link up your project at BBTB2.

One of my favorite cartridges is my Songbird cartridge. I made a series of bird cards and put different ones together as gift sets.. A few years back, I challenged myself to scrapbook everyday things in my life. For instance, I scrapped my St. Patricks Day elf collection, favorite Xmas items, and just everyday adventures with friends. One of the things I wanted to scrap was pictures of my parakeets.  They live by a window near the kitchen, so they get lots of attention.

Cartridge: Songbird. Branch cut three times, and third time used only the bird (I have 2 birds)  Paper - DCWV Autumn stack. Inked most cuts.  Sorry I didn't include the bird's picture, I can't find it.

    I love that you are scrapping your everyday life Maureen and this is one that is fabulous for the album! I bet your birds are so fun to talk too. I love the background paper of this layout and I love your die cuts that you used. And now I bet your birds are happy to have a page in the album! Hugs, Brenda

    I LOVE the idea of scrapping some everyday life things-I do that a bit, but I think you have inspired me to do it in a more purposeful way. Cute title and birdcage and I imagine your sweet parakeets are even cuter!
