Happy Birthday Birdie

I'm really liking the raspberry fizz cardstock and find that it goes with almost every color! How on earth is that possible? I brought out my 'old' SU! Always bird...a classic! This is more of my scrappy style of a card that I typically do not do. It take a lot of steps and was difficult for me to tell you how to make because I did it last weekend! It's a lot of layering.

I've added a poll to the blog on the left. I just wanted to know whether anyone wanted to see more out of my blog. I was pondering a few ideas and wanted to see if they're even worth my efforts. So, if you get a chance, select one or more options to the poll OR you can even leave me a comment/email with any suggestions. I like to share my work and any information I find useful with each of you and want to make sure that it is effective!

A few weeks ago, my sister and I were 'models' for Mac, the photographer! Take a peek here and give him some love for those awesome shots!

Thanks for stopping by to see my birthday birdie. You have a great Tuesday!
