Mosaic Mood Door Prizes

At the shut-in card assembly event the gals put their name in for a drawing of door prizes. I followed Julie DiMatteo’s pattern and You Tube Video to make these gifts. It was a great pattern and easy to follow. You should try one for yourself.

Bird Ballad and SC756

Been having fun playing with the new Bird Ballad DSP and the Free as a Bird Stamp Set. This is my new favorite, I just love sweet little birds. If you cut out the birds and flowers from one sheet of the designer series paper you can put together 24 cards. Wow what a bargain. I just love Stampin’ Up too!  I used the SC756 Sketch over at Split Coast Stampers today to put together this little cutie.
