Bye Bye Birdie was the theme this month...isn't that cute? Sharron did not disappoint with the many different kinds of birds in her kit! It was so much fun to choose which ones to use and believe me, I still have about 20 more birds sitting on my desk! My favorite two cards are the first two that I made, but the crane one reminds me so much of my grandma. If she were here I would love to send it to her. She used to have a crane that would come in her yard daily. She named it Liz and fed it hotdogs! It was nice to work with this kit, too, to remember that spring is right around the corner (which is hard to believe when you look out and see so much snow!). Check out my cards below and make sure to go to the 12 Kits blog to check out what all my talented crafty friends came up with! I know I will be going to check them out for sure! Thanks for stopping by :)
Well done, Jessica! As a bird lover, I am agog over the designs you've made here! Sharron made a marvelous kit with colors that I adore and you've used them brilliantly! Hugs, Darnell

ReplyDeleteJessica these are all wonderful! I love the background papers and how you used it on the second card. You used all the patterned paper to make great backgrounds. Hope you and your sweet family are staying warm.
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica! I really enjoy hopping around and seeing how everyone used everything differently. The birds on the wire were so clever to hide the line from where you cut out the sentiment - really brilliant! I love the cranes with the asian looking border (something I didnt use) - I like that they're facing opposite directions and bit of bling - so eye pleasing!
ReplyDeleteJessica - what an honor it is for me to appear int he same post with you - your cards are incredible and so well done!! You have used the pattern papers, the embellishments, and the wonderful diecuts in super amazing ways!!! Love the penguin card - so cute, adorable and fun!! The rounded corners on many of them are completely delightful!! And isn't that twine just something else!!! Thanks for the added inspiration you have given me for further use of my kit's leftovers!! So very glad I came by today!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome cards, Jessica! You did such wonderful things with the patterned paper and die cuts. Love your great designs! The penguins on that pattern look especially cool!
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE your penguin card! That paper choice is so sweet for the background! Stunning layout with the black silhouette birds and the acrylic dots look are perfect with the balloon paper! And those herons look so regal with the lovely lattice!
ReplyDeleteJessica, these are amazing! Your penguin card completely stole my heart, but I love them all. I also loved reading about your grandma and the crane. What fun memories!
ReplyDeleteLove all of your cards Jessica. I am so glad that you are still in our group, because I really miss seeing your creations. My guess is that you are too busy to do much more than our 12 kits. You did such a fantastic job with Sharron's kit--I especially like your crane card and the story about your grandmother.
ReplyDeleteJessica, you card are as always fun and fresh. I love the tiled tag on your first card, those super cute penguins, the way you created a little family with he cranes and the beautiful scene of the silhouette birds on the wire at sunset.
