Birds with FLAIR

I love birds.

I know some people are scared of them, and I'm sorry about that. It's possible that a fear of birds is on the same chromosome as the white food aversion in my previous post, in which case, our telethon will find a cure.

But I love them. In all their feathered varieties. If birds ever go out of stamping vogue, well, I will just be out of vogue, cuz I love em.

I went on a huge spendstravaganza at Archivers (mostly the fault of Libby and Dana, I might add) last weekend, and I got this ADORABLE Unity Birds of a Feather set with these curly twirly cutie head birds.

So it was a perfect time to join the Unity Friends with Flair blog hop today (hence justifying my purchases)! I made this little card with lots of my new toys from that trip, including that October Afternoon grid paper, the sassy Abbey Road brad, my new Tim Holtz die, and some old tie dyed felt I unearthed this week. I love die cutting felt!! The background is also Unity - from Going Retro. The little birdie and acorns are colored with Copics and paper pieced.

I love his sassy orangeness.

What do you have up for the weekend? I'll be shoebox swapping!

    How fun! Love all the orange touches. And isn't it funny how we always find a way to justify our purchases? ;)

    I dare not talli my crafty purchases lest I be smacked in the head by reality.
