Everything on the menu is now available, but before you head off to shop we have some more creative inspiration for you!  I have another card featuring Birds of a Feather paired with Labels of Love.

We’ve had this set in development for quite awhile and I’ve just been dying to use it.  You know I LOVE anything with cute bird images, so it’s kind of funny that my first card yesterday went “out of the box” with the hot air balloon idea.  Today’s card is not at all the card I had in my head…in fact my original idea was white craft ink on Kraft cardstock…but I just kept thinking of black wrought iron and decided to go with black instead.  I don’t know if you’ve worked with black craft/pigment ink much, but I was reminded why I hate it so much.  I had such a mess going while I made this card that I’m shocked I ended up with a card at all.  And about half way through I hated the card completely…but just kept plugging away (“never say die” is one of my stamping mottos) and I ended up with something different from my usual style and something that I actually quite LOVE!

The pink ink is from A|Muse and the ribbon and flowers were in my stash.  I was excited to use a Jenni Bolwin stick pin that I had been hoarding.

A few weeks ago we were invited to a Parisian themed dinner party in honor of an old friend who had to cancel a trip to Paris due to health problems.  It was such a lovely evening and I thought this card would make a nice thank you note, so that’s why I chose the Merci sentiment from Labels of Love.  Here’s a photo of the Rocket Scientist and me at the party.  We were asked to dress in the spirit of the the theme, but I wasn’t quite sure what qaulified as Parisian.  I was happy to have an excuse reason to buy a new maxi dress, sandals and jewelry and say that I was representing the Paris runway!  LOL!!!!

Let’s see what the Baker’s Dozen has cooked up for inspiration today!
