Not Christmas!!

Hello Nomad friends.   Getting a little crafting done in the between days.  I always feel a little dislocated after the run up to Christmas, all that good food and festivities, and then we spend a few days pending, waiting for the New Year celebrations to kick start the year.   It's a good time to relax and reflect and recharge.  I am already on my perpetual resolution to use more scraps.  Scrap mountain continues to grow.  I did make myself a new system of boxes that stack together on my desk for the smaller pieces and it seems to be working well.  It keeps them handy and in my eye-line.  Lots of scraps in this card which was inspired by the Memory Box challenge to use patterned paper.

I used Memory Box Backyard Wren and Palace Oval Frame dies and lots of scraps of patterned paper.  I added a layer of ice lolly box thick card behind the wren to make it stand out a bit more.  Found this fun printed sentiment bar in the pp scraps which was a perfectly sized offcut from a printed sheet.  A bit busy, but then wrens are a busy sort of bird.  Love watching them flitting around in the garden, especially at this time of year when they are diligently looking for snacks.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Lovely card Gail - we have resident wrens in the garden and they certainly are busy little birds. Rather like nutmegs with wings!
