"Not to put too fine a point on it.....



.....Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet,
Make a little birdhouse in your soul"


that's the song I had going through my head as I made these last night!! now I know you'll be humming it the rest of today!!

Anyway. these are two new home cards I made for a couple of friends (I apologise for their lateness)
The fronts (and backs - because the cards were too front-heavy and kept falling over) are covered in wallpaper, which I thought was quite appropriate. The stamps are all by Clear Art Stamps which I bought from the joanna sheen website.
The pegs which the birds are standing on are made from a strip of wallpaper rolled up, I took the idea from quilling!!! (I quilled!!!! flower soft, quilling, whatever next?? die cut bunny decoupage???? lol)
