BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS

 

Before I talk about the Birds I want to share with you the wonderful Matchbox I received from Lorraine  http://loveofcollage.blogspot.com/ though the swap Palma hosted over at http://milliande.ning.com/

These are fun swaps and it is always a surprise when you open the box. Lorraine always creates wonderful artwork and as I have said before she fits more into her day than I do in a week.

Thank you Lorraine. I have just realised this photo is a little blurred. I will post another later.

Due to the postal strikes in Canada my Bluebird swap is running a little behind schedule ,but it has given me time to go just a little BIRD CRAZY.

As you can see  I have used some of my many Sizzix bird dies .

 

I have also finished the two pages for the monthly journal swap also over at

http://milliande.ning.com/  We have not been given our swap partners yet but I do hope they like these.

Choose one of the deadly sins  GLUTTONY

As  I am writing this another set of birds has arrived from Ruth in California

Ruth had forgotten to sign up for the swap but as you can see it would have been a shame not to have included these quirky birds.

    You've gone bird crazy Mary! I love it! Your pages for the swap are fabulous. I especially love the glutton one. That sin always brings me back to the movie with the name Seven starring Brad Pitt...the scene about gluttony... UGH! You captured both of the prompts wonderfully!

    Love the Journal Pages Mary! Can't wait to see what you will be making with all those birds! Ruth's work is always lovely and you are right, it would have been a shame not to show them!
