Red Bird...

Hey y'all,

I am not really up on my bird lingo, but I think these cute little red birds may be cardinals??? Either way I really like this stamp I picked up in Branson while visiting a couple of months ago. I thought that it would be a great image to use for my Christmas cards this year. I can't be to early when it comes to making Christmas cards! I put them off last year and had to send store bought ones. Boy did I get an earful! I will never do that again! Wink!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend. The hubby and I are in the midst of renovating or should I say "de-wallpapering"! The house we bought is covered in it! Aaaah! Don't get me wrong, wallpaper can be really cute. Ours on the other hand is circa 70's blue with little roses, which is a bit much for me. Good Times!

I wanted to pop in to share this card I created for the latest 2 Sketches 4 You challenge. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great week!

Brandi

Oh wow, this card is a stunner. Oh btw, the card you asked if it was my handwriting, nope, it's a Hero Arts stamp.

Again, your card is just amazing.
