SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS # 244 - X is for Xanadu

 

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

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS

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:

I hope that you'll find time to play along in our

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!
