I also wanted to show you some extra bird theme projects and searched around and found a great collection of extra samples by each of these talented ladies!


I love this altered frame DT member Vicki Chrisman created from a plastic frame she got at the dollar store. The image is from our Birds & Botanical Booklet



This is another favorite of mine that DT member Pam Hooten designed using a wood box she embellished with paper from our Classic Paper Pad and used our Bird Lover Stamps


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


I would like to introduce Florence Teixeira our new Design Team Member. She goes by Flo and lives in France and creates fabulous projects! Click HERE to see her blog in English (you can also click on the translator on the side). We met through email when she was trying to order some of our products recently and I was amazed at her work and I've really wanted to add an international designer to our team so it's worked out perfectly! Flo will be getting her box of Crafty Secrets goodies next week but I did find this adorable album she had made using a mix of our Bird Notes and French Mail Stamps - the only 2 items she owns of ours. Click HERE to see the rest of this album.

Melisa Waldorf is our guest designer for the month and I feel bad that I've been away so much I have done very many posts. In my next post I will show you some great projects Melisa has created. Look at this totally cute Thanksgiving card she did using the turkey from our Thanksgiving Stamp Set!

I have always loved the Robin. When I was litle I was told a story how the Robin got his red breast by fanning the flames to warm the baby Jesus. The Robin also ushers in spring and that is so wonderful to see the Robin and know winter is almost done!

Erika Leigh said...

This is sooooooo cute! Love it and would love to have it. My favorite bird is the sparrow. The Lord said he knows even when the sparrows fall....

Leslie said...

Oh how I love your projects, such inspiration!! I love bluebirds, their color is soooo calming and vibrant.

Gwyneth said...

i love blue jays!

sandyh50 said...

These are such gorgeous projects! I would have to say my favorite bird is the Western Meadowlark. They are a true sign of spring to me and I love their song!

ChrissyB said...

Your designs are beautiful. It's hard to pick a favorite bird. All three of my daughters each collect bird objects. The oldest gets swans, middle one is a blue bird and that youngest is the peacock. My mother has hundreds of rooster items. I guess we're all a little birdy! My favorite color is red and I just love a cardinal.

Debbie Kaste said...

These projects are outstanding! Love them all. My favorite bird has to be the bluebird:)
Best wishes to all your creative artists, they do a terrific job:)

Colleen said...

My favorite bird is the cardinal. I didn't realize until recently that it is a Christmas symbol. I learned to love cardinals from my grandfather who would feed birds in the winter and get very excited to have the cardinals visit. It is a fond memory of my grandfather.

Lavonne Gray said...

You all do the most beautiful work. I absolutely love all the projects and items you sell. My favorite bird is the bluejay. My dogs love chasing them, as well. It's such a perfect gift from God to see a random bluejay tucked in a tree. My email is Lavonne.gray@jpmchase.com

Thanks for the opportunity to win some of your fabulous products! My favorite bird has always been the cardinal.

I think my favourite bird is the robin,perhaps because they have nested fairly close to our house and I've had lots of opportunity to see their devotion in raising their families.
Lovely projects. Thanks for the inspiration.

Shellie Hartsock said...

I love all the bird projects. My favorite bird is the hummingbird. Thanks for the chance to win.

Bridget Faria said...

I am very impressed with your new DT member Florence Teixeira! I LOVE her Mini-Album envelope. She put so much effort into this project. Beautiful! As for my favorite bird I would have to say its the Cardinal.

Tina Kaylor said...

Love this blog. If you hadn't had a contest I would of never knew about it. Thanks
I love all of the examples.

I absolutely LOVE the dollar store framed birdie that Vickie created. I was fortunate enough to see this at GASC Arlington and have thought about in several times. Way to go!

Vicki Sopcak said...

You guys do great work and I love all your samples. Thanks for the chance to win. My favorite bird would be the Cardinal because it is the state bird for Illinois, plus they are just beautiful!!!

Sarah said...

I like robins

ms.clark said...

I really do love lovebirds. They are so sweet.

CraftyHope said...

I'm not really sure what my favorite bird would be. I'll have to say two - one is the hummingbird and the other is the owl. I know, completely different. But, that's me- kinda all over the place!!

Prefer said...

I have to say everyone really did a wonderful job. It's so very hard to choose. Being I must choose I would have to choose that Heidi Blankenship's. Great job everyone.

Kelly said...

I love chickadees! I love seeing them outside my living room window in the winter.

Birgit said...

My favorite bird? It's the raven. :)

Greetings from Munich,
Birgit

I like Michele Kovack's use of lil' bird on the snowflake card the best of all the challenges. I love snowflakes and that pink one on the card is just wonderful!

Kathy W said...

My favorite bird is the robin. I love looking out in the morning and seeing them hunting for worms. Thanks for the chance to win.

Katherine said...

The projects are just gorgeous! Makes me want to hurry and make some projects of my own. I love all your things! Birds are so beautiful and sweet sounding; I have three favorites, the cardinal, bluejay, and the swallow.

Traci said...

Too cute! My favorite bird is a stellar jay, because they are noisy and flamboyant (and I'm not!) ;-)

Mamy Anick said...

c'est génial pour Floliescrap. Tu vas nous faire des merveilles avec ces magnifiques tampons et ces images.
Bravo à toutes les filles de la DT

Unknown said...

So many wonderful projects and ideas. I love the bluebirds on the tree branch. They look so cute all together. It was a toss up though with the birds carrying the letters. I hope they are bringing one to me:)

Chelsea S said...

These are just beautiful. My favorite bird is the cockatoo. They are so elegant looking, sweet, and talkative. I wish I could afford one but then again, I dont know if I like the idea of keeping an exotic bird caged in my house. Now, if I was rich and could give them an entire play place, that would be another story.

I'm absolutely smitten with little love birds. I am also smitten with the wonderful goodies in the giveaway and my fingers are crossed!

Shirley said...

My favorite bird is a Hummingbird.

Duane & Patricia said...

Wow! I never even knew this site was here. It's wonderful. Always my favorite bird has been the Canada Goose. For me, the harbinger of fall, my favorite time of the year. When I lived in New Mexico (8 years) I never heard that remarkable "barking", so on arrival in PA in 2001, the autumn was a blessed time of homecoming.

My favorite bird is our state bird, the loon. Love to hear them out on the lake when we're on a pontoon.

Christy botm2@yahoo.com said...

My favorite birds are Owls and Ravens - I guess because I've always been into reading and watching horror ... and Mr. Poe, of course. I do love watching all sorts of birds - usually along with my Moms cats! hahaha Thank you for the opportunity to win!

Christine Sjoden said...

I love all birds. They are so cute. The little owls are very neat and magistic though. I love all animals.
Thanks for a chance to win.

My favorite bird is the cardinal, who sings a beautiful song, and is brave enough to stay through our cold winters and delight us with it's beautiful color when the midwest is cold and drab.
All of these projects are just gorgeous, but I really love the victorian box.
