Hello and welcome friends!
I took a bit of a break but I'm back.
My fur baby injured his shoulder last month
and I put crafting on the back burner
so I could focus on getting him better.
This fortnight at the
sounds like a doozie: Xanadu!
The definition of Xanadu is
"An idealized place of great or idyllic magnificence and beauty."
So, easy peasy: any place that you think is beautiful!
(There was also a movie made back in the 80's with
the same name starring Olivia Newton John. You
may see one of my teammies referencing that!)
Here's what I made:
I actually made this a couple months ago for my MIL.
I had then just recently bought the bird and flower dies.
I made two branches, one as shown with the bird tucked in,
and the other I cut apart and glued here and there on the panel.
Birds singing in a flowering dogwood tree is my kind of beautiful!
Here's the finished inside of my card:
Xanadu challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!
Need more inspiration? Simply check out what my
Sisters and our reigning Queen of Snark, Granne, have made
for your viewing pleasure.
Also, my sisters and I have decided to take a short break, so this will
be the last challenge for this year. We will be back the beginning
of next year with all new fun challenges!
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a great day!
