Christmas Chickabee

Good morning! What a weekend as we had Homecoming and a football game. I am honored to say that Curtis was nominated for Freshmen Homecoming Prince this year. Yea! However he did not win, but what a honor to be nominated in the top three.  :-)  We lost the football game which stunk, but they played awesome! We only have two more games since we will not be making the playoff's this year. That is very new to us and let's just say this new league is a bit of a surprise. Just means we will come back next year even more determined to get back to playoff's! Anyways.... How about a little fat birdie Christmas card for you? hee hee


This adorable little guy is called Chickadee in Barberry from Power Poppy! Oh my what fun this is. I actually printed two of these and will color the other one up in a fall theme to share when its complete. Had to color up the good ole Christmas colors first. He is colored with various Copic markers and scored a border around the edge. Some designer paper from My Minds Eye Cozy Christmas pack for the base with a red panel down the edge. Stamped my sentiment from Simple Joys and punched with a circle punch. Added a little flag strip below for fun and some older embellishments that were called Candi dots to the top. Sparkle to the snow and voila! This is also fro the Dirty Dozen October Christmas challenge, Paper Love with a twist. Come play along with us! Hope you have a wonderful day!

This fat little chickadee is so darn cute, I have to get him colored up soon! I love him for Christmas with the plaid. Just beautiful! After football is over you'll have something else keeping you busy with the boys, probably. They're growing up, up, up!

Love this! I'm a sucker for any 'nature' related cars. Beautifully coloured, love the choice of papers and design. Very festive. Up north in Algonquin Park the chickadees will feed right out of your hand along with a few other birds. I need to get this one printed and coloured up, so many choices, so little time! Thanks for sharing.
