Graphic45 and a Birdhouse....hmmm they go together right?

I could not resist using a wonderful birdhouse that my friend, Sherry Mendoza had given to me while driving through my neck of the woods before heading home to Australia. And the perfect paper is always Graphic45, so this was a natural fit for me.

This birdhouse stands about 16" tall and was a bit of a challenge with the holes and pegs but I made it work.

Look at all the yummy prima flowers!  I used several packages on this baby!

 

Hope you enjoy and this inspires you to create off the page!

This is what happens when you get a little free time to create

It was nice to have a crop night and get a few projects completed and hang out with a bunch of fun gals at the same time.  Thanks for the laughs ladies!

Here is a Prima Canvas that I had a ton of fun making. 

I first started with a blank canvas, used some Pistachio and Cream Eco Green Crafts paint to cover it.  Then I added a Prima vine and used the packaging as the vertical paper in the background.

 

 

I added cut squares using my new grid template from Lea France, handcut butterflies from Prima paper, plus corrugated cardboard butterflies from Jillibean Soup. I used small cut strips of the paper and adhered them to the edges of the photos.  (This is a great way to save on paper)

I added a stamped verse from Catslife Press, added it to the canvas and on paper butterflies.

 

Some of the paper butterflies are floating off of the canvas.

 
I painted the corrugated butterfly as well.
