Birds and Birches

 

Happy New Year, I hope Santa was good to you!  Let's hope 2026 doesn't rush by as quickly as 2025 did!

Sparkles Christmas Challenge 180 has just gone live and Billie has chosen Animals and Trees as our theme to start the new year.

I chose this old Impression Obsession set for my Birds and Birch Trees with a little foliage (Sizzix Winter Foliage) to break up the white.  The snow bank (Simon Says Stamp Wavy Scalloped Stitches) was the perfect spot for a sentiment (WMS Flourishes).

I am grateful for and would like to enter the following challenges:
Christmas Crafts All Year Round - B is for Birds and Birch Trees;
Peace on Earth - Anything Christmas Goes;
Inkspirational Challenges - Cold (see badge below);
Cut it Up Challenge #346 - Anything Goes with Diecuts;
Little Red Wagon Challenge #839 - Use the Force (Stamping and Die cutting);
Crafty Animals Challenge #101 - Use any Animals (I used birds);
The Sisterhood of Crafters - Anything Christmas;

 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you go away a little inspired!  Your visits and comments are always a joy and always appreciated!  And if you leave a comment, I’ll know you were here and how to find you!
