Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jig

Playing along today with the 

CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge.

(I just rotated the sketch)

As I was making this, I was reminded of  the pretty, blue and white

bird house that I put up at my last house.

It was up for a year and a half, and the birds moved in

2 weeks before we moved out.

Of course they did.

I couldn't evict them, so I guess I need a new bird house.

I'd like to say the idea for the 'roof' was mine,

 but I saw it on a card by the wonderfully talented Yana Smakula

Unlike hers though, my scallops are on the top edge

 - 'cos them's the dies I've got   :-)

18 Card

I don't often do 'shaped' cards,

but I wanted a card for my niece,

and this week's Stamptacular Challenge

gave me the incentive to try something different.

I found it tricky to cut out the number,

so don't look too closely!!
Sorry about the dark picture too, but it's been raining here all day
and the light isn't good.

I found the template for the 18 card online at Time For Crafting.
Hop on over there and take a look, there are allsorts
of templates and resources.

Recipe:
Design Paper - K & Co Sparkly Sweet
Stamp - Magnolia, Sweetheart Tilda,
coloured with whispers pens.

Flowers punched from DP and sprinkled with diamond dust

Pearl brads and charm from the Hobby House
Ribbon and pearl stickers from my stash.
