I sign every time I look at the pretty scene Heidi Blankenship created using a mix of our Sweet Kids Stamps and the branch with the birdies is from our Cherish Stamp Set.


Marisa Grosson stamped this fabulous card using our Bird Lover Stamp set and I'm amazed at how she cut out the leaves and did them 3D like paper tole!
I love the birds nest cone DT member Michelle Kovack created last year adding the birds on the branch she stamped from our Bird Notes Stamp Set.


This is another one of my favorites by DT member Linda Duke when she used our Kewpie Stamp set to create this very sweet card


Look at this cute birthday card DT member Michelle van Etten made using our Radiant Paper Pad and the birds from our new Birds & Blossoms Scraps

  3. Sandy -

    I love what everyone has done with their bird themes. Fantastic art! It's hard to pick a favorite bird, since I think they all have their own little personalities. I love to watch them flock to my feeders. But if I have to pick, it would be the Goldfinch.

  9. I may have to say the chickadee...it's little and sort of simple and not bright or anything but it's hardy and it's sturdy and it's built close to the ground, sort of like me! I really did have someone say that to me once and I didn't know if I should be insulted or complimented! Hugs and thanks for the opportunity to win beautiful birds.

I have to say one of my favorite birds are Hummingbirds, but there is this one song bird that comes to sing in our backyard during the spring and summer that I so love, but I don't know what kind of bird, but he stands on the top of the tree and sings his little heart out. Love him! Thank you for the chance of winning some of your gorgeous stamps and product!

  45. What a beautiful giveaway - I have fallen in love with your products. I was able to buy some at the Craft Expo - and the first card that I made - that very night was using a bird image from the Birds and Botanical Images and Journal Notes book. My favourite bird - hmmmm....Robins, and in winter (although, I have never seen one - a red Cardinal)

    ReplyDelete
  83. Great Projects!! My favorite bird right now is the Parrot. I just love all the vibrant colors that adorn their heads and wings. Got to go to Key West for my 50th birthday last May and there were lots of parrots down there. It was amazing. Made myself a scrapbook of the occassion but had a hard time finding anything with parrots. You can see some of my scrapbook at ascrappingdiva.blogspot.com if you'd like.

    Take Care - Robin

  85. I thought long and hard about this one as I love birds and birdwatching....but, I would have to say it is the Carolina Wren. They have such cute short little bodies and tails that jut up at a right angle. They nest in this little space between a post that supports the deck and the underneath of the deck. And they have such a neat song.

    Thanks for the chance to win! I love your products!

  93. The Oriole comes to our house in the spring after one of our long cold bleak winters. She brings her lovely bright orange and sleek black to our deck. She then proceeds to eat all the oranges we can put out for her. She's raised many young near us and we enjoy watching her young learn to fly and enjoy watching them belligerently fight for their own territory - Nimmy

  109. LUV LUV LUV the projects! My signature is a bird on 100% of my scrap layouts....if it fits the theme...great...if not, there is one on the page somewhere, even if it's small and hidden. I've been doing this for years now, and 50 years from now...I hope anybody who looks at my work...will enjoy this aspect of my creations! So...I tend to invest in many bird things!!! My favorite bird...hmmmm...that's a hard one...but, living in the country...I think I enjoy watching the quail out and about. I wake up in the morning peek out my window and see a Mama Quail and her babies scooting across my front lawn...close second would be pheasants...but...I also had a peacock outside..that was interesting!!!! In my top five I would also include an Eagle...it's my son's fave...and our house is decorated with Eagles because of it!!! But...quail would be my first choice! I do like them all though.... Trudi

  126. Cardinals are probably my faves...not blue jays because they are pretty but NOISY little stinkers!

    ReplyDelete
  127. Ohhhh!! I can't wait to see more of Flo's projects... her work is gorgeous!

    My favourite bird depends on my mood. I've always been fascinated (and intimidated) by crows/ravens. I also really like Asian swallows.

  128. Your Bird images are stunning, and I love what you create with them!
    My favorite birds are first the chickadees then woodpeckers,hummingbirds and crows. I feed all these birds year round in my yard and love to watch them.

  129. My favorite birds are robins. Love that you have so many of them in your products.

  130. Robin Red-Breast! I love robins! After that, any of the bright-eyed songbirds.

  131. I love any small bird that has a light blue chest. Don't know why, but they just make me smile. Love your products! xo :O)

    ReplyDelete
  132. Well this is tough because I love all the birds. I hate to admit it, but I'm even fascinated with turkey vulchers! Watching them soar in large groups in the sky. OK, now that you think I'm weird!

    My favorite is probably the pileated woodpecker because they are so big and such a rare sight. On our old property we would hear them, but to see them was rare.

    BTW-Thanks for the chance to win!

  135. Gorgeous craft projects! My favorite bird is DEFINITELY a Red Cardinal! I saw one a couple evenings ago land on my backyard, he was just so vivid in his red jacket! Gorgeous! Suzie

  136. How can I choose a favorite? I have so many bird feeders that my husband jokes that we have a $10,000 a year bird food budget! I so love the hummingbirds, so I guess they would be ONE of my favorites....but I love them all.

Thank you for having it---my favorite bird would have to be these little finches which show up in the field by our cottage every year. They are an unbelievable teal which is breath-taking! I love all birds though--hubby makes birdhouses and I paint them and sell them sometimes on the side of the road!! And all birds seem to love his birdhouses, too!! Have a happy day!!

    I'm a bird lover so it's super hard to choose.... but after much thought, I've narrowed it down to two. The Sparrow and the Mockingbird. I'm a sucker for song birds :)

  193. Hello,

    My name is Laure and I'm french, so, please, excuse my english !

    I've just discover your blog (thanks to Floliescrap): the products are very very beautiful. I only regret that they aren't sold everywhere in France !

    I don't understand your question about the birds :
    If you want to know which is my favorite project, it is the Linda Duke's.
    If you want to know which is my favorite bird in your products : I love all of them !!!
    If you want to know my favourite bird in life : I love the "rouge-gorges" (red fills) because they are small and charming.
    I hope that you have understood my message ...!
    Have a good day,

    Laure
