Birdhouse Tag

We have had so much rain this week, I thought we were going to have to build an ark!  Now, we're getting ready for a week of high temperatures and humidity.  Thank goodness for air conditioning!

Yesterday, I rescued a baby bird from our window well.  I kept hearing loud chirping and discovered the little thing in the well.  The momma bird was walking around nearby.  I got a shovel and scooped the baby out of the well.  It could only fly a few inches off the ground.  When I saw the momma and baby last, they were headed toward a bush.

Anyway, the tag I'm sharing today reminds me of the sweet birds.  I started with a kraft tag  that I had to cut part of the bottom off because of a mistake.  I covered it with K&Co paper after inking the edges.  Onto that, I put a piece of lace trim and a Wilton doily.  The flowers and leaves were in my stash.  Love my Martha Stewart frond punch and tucked in a few around the flowers.  The pearl flower swirl is from Basic Grey.  The little bird, which has a generous coating of Martha Stewart glitter, as well as the birdhouse are from Recollections.

The tag was finished with a piece of twill, Prima trim and an unknown trim.  The leaves were a bit bright, so I toned them down some with chalk ink.  (You can click on the photos for a closer view.)

A couple of people have said they don't know what to do with the tags.  I like to use mine for decoration.  I tuck them in a basket, put one on a pile of books, or displayed on a small easel.  And I rotate them for the seasons.

Well, that's it for me today.  My husband and son just left for a guy's night out, so I'm going to sit back and relax with my dog.  Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  I do appreciate your sweet comments.
