Just us Girls #769 - dies, no flowers!

My card for Just us Girls #769 is ready to hang in their gallery.  The dies 'no flowers' was a tricky move on Sue's part - you know I do love those layered-die-cut-flowers!  

My friend Lisa used a sweet little Purple Onion Owl and frame - so I followed her lead and found myself reaching for these fun Happy Birds from Wplus9 from yesteryear!  


These guys continue to put a big fat smile on my face - that little dude on the left
must be a Brown Creeper as they are the only bird I know of that go upside down and 
backwards when foraging for bugs on the bark of trees!
I just love these Charley Harper-like birds!

That Penny Black frame continues to please - and a new PF stencil [from that most generous friend] found its way into the background!  SO fun!


Read the sentiment again - I mean that sincerely!

These birds are such fun, Michele, and I love how you put one upside down to make this card even more fun! A perfect sentiment. Oh, and tell Tom we spotted a pileated woodpecker in the yard last week. He didn't stay long and we haven't seen him again.

Adorable! Love those fun birds, but your frame, branch and fun stencil are quite the match. I love how your stencil gives the feel of a leafy background too. You're welcome!

Those birds are so much fun, Michele. Do the upside down one in gray and he could be a nuthatch. Thanks for sharing this delightful card with us at Just Us Girls.

EVERY time I see those WPlus9 cuties I'm reminded how slow I was to grab them. Wonderful pairing with the patterned paper and that upside down one is a hoot! Literally!
