Birdhouse Mini

Here is a cute little birdhouse mini that I made following Kit's tutorial.  I love her videos, she's so much fun!  

This one uses images from Abby at Little Birdie Blessings and The Graphic's Fairy.  Since it's a birdhouse, I decided to use scripture verses about birds.  The verse on the third page is the one from Matthew 6:26.  Look at the birds of the air, they neither sow, nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value then they?  How many times have I had to remind myself of this truth?!

There are 14 pages to add pictures or journaling.  I decided I wanted to stamp this flower flourish from Heartfelt Creations on the inside of the front after I had already decorated the front.  To solve my little problem, I stamped the image on tissue paper, colored it with Creative Inspirations Paint, (which gives such a beautiful shimmer and sparkle) and then adhered it with gel medium.  The gel medium makes the tissue paper translucent, so now you can't see the tissue paper and it looks as if it was stamped on the card stock.  I stamped the bird, cut it out, covered it in UTEE, and added it with pop dots.

I sewed beads around the first page.  After I uploaded my pics, I realized that I misspelled 'Solomon'!  Now that's going to bug me until I fix it, LOL.

Last week, Abby posted the sheet music for Joyful, Joyful we adore thee.  I thought that was such an appropriate song for this mini.  Birds always sound so joyful.  So I added that to the reverse side of the pages.

I loved making this book.  I'll be making some more; I think these would be a wonderful place to keep inspirational quotes, sayings, and verses .

I'm not sure if this meets the requirements at Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenges to 'make me smile, create a happy card'.  If not, feel free to ignore, LOL.


Thanks so much for visiting and have a blessed day!
