Hello!
Isn't this the cutest little bird! :<) You can find the tutorial for "Silly Bird" on the wonderfully creative blog Paper Punch Addiction at http://www.paperpunchaddiction.com/ When I saw this crazy little bird, I knew that I had to make one for myself immediately! :<) I loved how he turned out, but now he needed a birdhouse! I had recently put together my first Milk Carton Box using a tutorial - I don't have the die - and it was sitting on my work table until I could think of something to use it for. My Silly Bird needed a birdhouse. Perfect! You can find the tutorial that I used to make this box at http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/milk_carton_box/
In my last post I said that I had re-created some flowers from the pattern on this paper I loved, using paper punches. So here is the Silly Bird, the Milk Carton Box and my re-created flowers from the BoBunny paper. I hope that you enjoy! He makes me smile everytime I look at him sitting there and I am sure he is only the first of many I will make! :<)

Thanks for stopping by today!
I apologize for not making my rounds of blogs recently to see what you are all doing and to leave a comment, but real life has been chaotic here for the past many weeks and then came to a crisis and I am now still dealing with issues. I am mentally and physically exhausted by it all but so grateful that I have my blog and my projects and my dolls to keep my mind occupied with something other than these concerns and reading your lovely comments and e-mails just makes my day and keeps me going! :<) So thank you again for your kindness and I will be back to visiting your blogs soon! Wishing you a good day today!
Tomorrow I have photos of the card that accompanies the bird/birdhouse.

Oh Barbara,
ReplyDeleteThis is soooooooo cute! I love the bird. I would love a chance to craft with all my talented blog friends. You always have such great ideas. I am having a very hard time getting into my craft room this summer. I hope to be back soon. Until then I will just enjoy your beautiful work.
Sorry to hear you've got struggles this week Barbara. Crafting obviously helps you and what a creation it is too! Love that cheeky little bird. Hope everything sorts itself out soon.

I have that mini milk carton die and hadn't thought about making a birdhouse with it. I'll be sure to pair that with my birdie! Thanks for giving me credit on my birdie.
ReplyDeleteI am seriously in awe!!!! This is truly one of my favorite projects ever!
ReplyDeleteWhatever is going on to make your life chaotic I hope you hang in there and that all will be well! I'll be thinking of you :)
