Love is in the Air - Crazy Bird Style

Love love love. September is usually the month when I reflect upon love, because the 15th is my anniversary to my wonderful boyfriend. 

Today, I'm going to show off the card that I made for him using the Crazy Birds stamp set. 



I just love these stinkin' birds. They are so expressive and I keep seeing crazier and crazier cards with them. Especially now that there's an expansion pack with fun accessories. 

I've not got to use the bird before and so they are perfect for Miss Darnell's NBUS challenge. What's NBUS, you ask? Well I will counter your question with one of my one: WHAT ROCK HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING UNDER?! It's only the coolest challenge this side of the interwebs. It stands for Never Been Used Schtuff and it gives you incentive to use that crafty thingamabob you've been hoarding. 


You can find all of the details and the awesome list of sponsors over on Darnell's blog

Here is my full card:


I colored these critters with some Copic markers and then I added a 3D heart sticker (also NBUS) before "stitching the whole thing with a Pitt Artist Pen. 

Did you notice that I masked the birds so their beaks were touching? They're kissing, of course! ;) 

And then for the sentiment: As many of you know, I may be a bit *ahem* quirky, crazy, funky, silly... So this seemed like the perfect way to say HEY! It's me! And I love you! 

I'm also sending this over to the Craft Stamper Magazine Take it Make it Challenge - Anything Goes and Little Red Wagon Challenge - Clean and Simple.

We just spent the weekend up on Minnesota's North Shore celebrating. :) 



Thanks for popping by!!

  15. Oh, what a darling couple you two are (and NO, I am not talking about the birdies! haha). Happy 15th!
    And of course those birdies are quirky perfect - I love them, too (Shhh, don't tell MY birdie, Rocky - he doesn't like other birdies - might be because he thinks he's a kitty cat. lol). Awesome card as usual. <3

  28. My dear Becca, with travel and work in triple doses of late..wait, make that quadruple doses...I've fallen FAR TOO MANY posts behind! All your dazzling delights have been gazed at, admired, oohed and ahhed over, so hopefully my awe at your creativity found its way to you. My wild cheering and applauding at your stamp launch: surely you must have heard that! I'm going to start afresh and strive to stay caught up! Fingers crossed!
    HAPPY (nearly there) ANNIVERSARY to you two! Your crazy birds card: only super perfect! Your guy's going to love this immensely, as do I! Hope you have fabulous celebration plans in the works...
