Guest Designer card for Papertake Weekly Challenge

Good Morning to you all my wonderful crafty friends

I just wanted to start by saying a big heart felt thank you for your comforting words about the loss of our cat, I was deeply touched reading them. I don't normally share much personal stuff on my blog but I knew that you would all understand and be so supportive and I feel honoured to call you my friends.

So, it's Tuesday so that means the start of a new Papertake Weekly Challenge  which I have such pleasure to be a Guest Designer.
This week the theme is

Occasion -ally (make something for an occasion e.g. birthday, wedding etc)

The sponsor for this challenge is

I coloured up these cute love birds from Digi Stamp Boutique. 
I think this could be used for either a Wedding of Anniversary.



Items Used:
Digi Stamp - DSB Cute Love Birds coloured with Promarkers
Papers - First Edition Love Letters
Spellbinders Floral Oval
Spellbinders Labels 18
Memory Box - Precious Hearts
Sentiment Clearly Besotted A little Sentimental - again !(can you tell I love this set!!)


I would like to enter my card into the following fabulous challenges:

Digi Stamp Boutique - August Customer competition

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my blog today. I really do appreciate, your support and encouragement means so much to me
Bye for now
hugs

    Hi Sue,
    Sorry I'm late commenting...we've been out 'til now.
    I hope you are feeling a bit better today. I know what I felt like when we lost Cookie, it just keeps coming over you and you feel an emptiness and really sad. I just kept bursting into tears. Thank goodness we have our crafts to take our minds off things, and it does help a little.
    Your card today is another beautifully created example of your lovely work. I love those little birds and your hearts. Congrats on your GD spot, too. Sending hugs xx

    Too Tweet, Sue! Adorable matching outfits. Is the heart/bow die easy to use? I notice that it is very versatile on your cards, and gives that added "sweetness feel" in your creations. Really pretty with the green leaves providing the "pop".
    hugs, de

    My dear friend, this card is as gorgeous as your heart... and that's saying a LOT! :o) The birdies couldn't be any sweeter and I love the combination of dies you used for their base. The hearts are gorgeous and I love how you've used the pretty paper. Lovely creation, as always. And congrats again for being a GD with Papertake Weekly... what a thrill! :o) (Still sending you extra hugs!)
