Another Altered Birdhouse

Happy Tuesday! I should actually be calling this post "Another Procrastination Project"! lol I have a big project that I should be working on and I seem to be having a bit of trouble keeping my focus. This little birdhouse has been sitting in my studio since I altered my last one. Now that the cooler weather is moving in, I thought this poor little bird needed his home! This is the first time I've used a couple of new toys. First, I now have my very first Stampin' Up punch; the Boho Blossom Punch. So I didn't have to fussy cut these flowers this time...just stamp and punch! Yay for me, right? Secondly, I used the Ranger Perfect Pearls Mist on the finished flowers and the fence. I love it! I did just a light spritz and I love the shimmer it gave! I cut the Scripture verse a little bit short so that the whole bird would show but I'd like to share it with you here. Psalm 95:1 says: "O come, let us sing to the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation." Okay, now I think I better try to get some work done on my big project. On second thought, I think I need a coffee break, and then I should clean up the mess I made, and then I have to make supper...maybe I'll get to it tomorrow! lol Hope you're all having a happy week! :o)

Boy that little birdy got a super deluxe condo to live in! LOL It's adorable Nancy! Love the scripture of course and your SU flowers look wonderful. Sounds like your falling prey to the "have to work on what's stuck in your head" syndrome. LOL Welcome to my world. Hugs! :-)

Very beautiful! I love the flowers and all the different elements.
Funny, I have that same procrastination problem. I am very easily distracted by the more fun projects, but I'm guilty of leaving my mess for later. Have a great day!
