The robins returned to a whole lotta snow in the northland, a year ago when I first posted this papercraft story the weather was warm. This year, spring seems to be dragging her feet and making us wait despite the fact that I would love to wear a spring frock for Easter!
With the arrival of the robins last week I decided to make a little tag book of birds. The graphics come from a well read, ripped and tattered children's book line called Elf. The title of this little book is:
As always, my paper crafts tell a story using graphics, scrapbook supplies and 'garnishes' from my stash. Buttons, string, glitter glue, some silk greens trimmed from the tulips I just put in a vintage planter and a few stickers. I don't necessarily complete projects in one sitting (or two or three) when there are multiple pages. I will have a flash of inspiration and add more embellishments later. Puttering like an old guy in his garage. 'Just a little more, just a few more bits of something.
The boys in blue
And just in case winter comes back, Johnny and his birds are back in the barn
What a sweet project. Yes, it is warm. My air conditioner is running. Our allergies are out of control. It is Spring in full bloom. Smiles...Renee
ReplyDeleteThat was a nice flash of inspiration - your tag book turned out great. I work the same way you do - puttering style.
