Today is the start of a new challenge over at Lia Stampz! This time it's "Shabby Chic"...a favorite of many of you!
For my project I decorated the cover of a Heidi Swapp wood album. I used this adorable little bird image called "Christmas Birdie"; it's a brand new release. You can find it at Whimsy Stamps right HERE.
I decided I wanted to make myself a "Blessings" book. I'm going to use it to record the many blessings I have in my life. Then, if I'm ever having a bad day, I can just open this book up and be reminded of how blessed I really am! :o)
I had fun coloring the background with a combination of Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Glam, some Smooch and a stencil. Then I added a little bit of stamping, some diecuts, and the sweet little bird. He's been colored to match the cover, complete with smooched boots and pompom!
So there you have it...a brand new challenge! You've got until October 15th to come on over to Lia Stampz to join us. You could win an image or be the featured artist!
Oh, and just so you know...your names are all written in my new book of blessings! :o)

Sweet card, Nancy. Shabby Chic is definitely a favourite. You did a lovely job. Cutie birdie from Lia. I love the "blessings" sentiment, but especially your idea of a Blessings book. You are a blessing to many. xx Kathryne

Such a wonderful idea Nancy ! Love how you have coloured the album cover and your little bird is so cute! Did you colour the seam binding to match , love that bow !
This "Blessings" book is Goooor-juuuuuus! Your little bird is so cute and you have colored him up to be fancy :D
This is a great idea. Having a book to remind you of the things and people that "bless" your life.
You, my dear friend, are the one that has certainly blessed my life with your friendship.
Love you, Nancy - Leslie
