Animal Week Finale

Well, friends, "Animal Week" has officially concluded. For my last card, I thought I would use one of my favorite stamps. I've told you before how much I love this image, and it's one of the newest to my collection. It's so sweet! Because I'm going to have a hard time coloring this bird any other color besides blue, I turned to my blue scrap folder to see what I could find.


Hey look...no Cuttlebug on this one. I thought I'd give ya'll a break. I did take help where I could with this one, though, and used another sketch challenge, this an old one from Trudy's Treasures. I just stumbled across Trudy's blog a few days ago, and she has some great sketches! It seems that she's also a fellow TAC Angel.

I'd like to say thanks to Gail at A Dragonfly Garden for instituting "Animal Week." It was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed working with all my animal stamps and seeing what I could come up with. Can you believe she got me to post every day?!

I'll leave you tonight with one of my absolute favorite pictures of all time. I'm sure you have seen it before. It's "The Mad Bluebird" by wildlife photographer Michael L. Smith.

Hee hee Hee! I just LOVE this. There is a great story behind this picture that can be read here. I'm seriously thinking about getting a print of this picture to hang in my kitchen because it makes me smile so much. Besides, it would fit in with my birdhouses!
