Friday Smiles + Cards, Wrapping Paper ~ Too Good to Waste!

Hullo there everyone.
Firstly, a big welcome to my latest Wonderful Encourager - Robyn, who has a great encouraging blog over here!

Well, this month is very busy one for birthdays - too many to enumerate (and one missed, oops - I thought, and thought, then I forgot, always the one first in the month!).

I was wrapping a friend's present, and as did so thought how much I loved the paper - then mind started wandering on how I could make some quick and easy cards with it!!

 And so I did!! this is just the start as thought would do three or four of them, used Spellbinder Circles, and some SU punch outs bought pre-cut on eBay not right colour the base so used textas again. The Scalloped oval colour was better second time around.

 The Kimmy Luvs Cuttlebug folder worked so well with the "heartfelt wishes" stamping on the greeting ~ gotta love that. Some pearls and ribbon binding to adorn - the red is actually softer not quite so bright as it looks on my screen.
{Ha ha! I just noticed have used the folders two different ways - one is debossed and other is embossed!}

As it is Friday thought would link over with Annie and her Friday Smile Post!

 Two pickies - the first from my blog on WOYWW Wednesday in case you missed it HERE. {Take a peek at baby pineapple growing in my backyard too on WOYWW post link, above too} :

Here 4 weeks old are two HUGE little fluffy baby Peewee's pushing at each other almost to fit in the nest. They are according to reports a laugh a minute as they try to learn to fly and wibble-wobble on branches around the nest. One is slightly more advanced than the other - didn't my sister take a good photo?!

Isn't God's creation simply amazing?
Such tiny little birds - and He cares about them all and us and our burdens, see Matthew 6:27 
"Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" 

Second Smile is from an old comic and I love Garfield, very appropriate with so many birthdays this month!

 

Over at Annie's it is - Friday Smiles: - Join us do!!

Well, thanks so much everyone for popping over for peek and chat.. and may God bless your day wherever you may be..
