Seize The Birthday - Number Crunching: Use A Number

 


It's time for a new challenge at Seize The Birthday, and this time Cathy has chosen Number Crunching - Use a Number.

I made this for my sister's 70th birthday earlier in the year.  The robin, pot, flowers and wall are all Tim Holtz, the numbers are Memory Box and the foiled sentiment is Spellbinders.  (It's a good job I proofread this before posting - autocorrect had changed foiled to toilet 😂).

On our daily walks with the dog we see several robins flitting about between trees and fence posts, and we have a regular robin visitor in our garden.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the design team and from our surprise party guests, and join in the fun.  Play along with our Anything Goes theme if you don't want to use numbers.  See you in the gallery!

  11. Shirley, this card is a beauty! My grandson and I were watching a robin last evening taking a bath in the backyard pond with a bubble rock, it was so entertaining! Your whole card is a beautiful picture of what can be seen if we take the time to look!
