Yep, I know it has been a while since I've been here. Life happened and I had other things to deal with. I had my little grandkids over the weekend....just two of them. I will see the other one at Christmas. I didn't get to see all of them as I had planned when I did my last card. Ugh!
I did make some cards for Splitcoaststampers that I'll be posting ( five of them). I'll do one today and post some more later.
Isn't that a beautiful bird? I think by now everyone knows I love a bird. I thought I would just let him perch in the bough.
This card was for the color challenge on Splitcoaststampers/CC507. The colors to use were Stampin'Up! Early Expresso, Garden Green, and Cherry Cobbler. I didn't have all of the colors but listed what I had in the my recipe below. I had to add a bit of yellow for light in my cabin.

This card makes me want to find a nice cabin in the woods and just GO! Love it! The cardinal is so beautiful too.

Beautiful Christmas card, Brenda! It looks so pretty with the house and lovely bird perched on the bough! Yes, Alabama and Ohio State at the Sugar Bowl! How fun it would be to have tickets to the game!:-)
Good to have you back, hope all is good with you!
Gorgeous card - I seem to have a thing for red gingham ... only dawned on me the other day when I was looking about my kitchen LOL
I see Mr Blogger has messed about with your comment moderation - apparently you have to go to your settings and change your comments to 'embedded' - I've changed mine but not sure if its worked or not!
Super cute design Brenda, love the gingham paper and adorable house.
Hugs Diane

Mmmm, mmmm! Red gingham and a cardinal! Two of my favorites! Love this pretty scene! Sorry the visit didn't work out as planned. Now you have another visit to look forward to.
I absolutely adore gingham checks. There's something homey and warm about them. This one works perfectly for a country Christmas. Love the bright cardinal.
I'm not so far behind here as I feared I'd be. Sorry you missed having one of the grands..but at least you got to enjoy some of the others. Of course you know I love this bird, and he looks very happy perched in the greenery. I am loving the red gingham bachground for your house. The skinny trees look super with the corrugated 'cabin' look. Delightful little holly trim over the door. A very country Christmas indeed! TFS & Hugs
Gorgeous card Benzi. Love the red cardinal perched on the pine branch ... so lovely! Loll xx
Beautiful card Brenda!! I love the checks and corrugated house, a wonderful Christmasy scene :) Sorry you didnt get to see all the Grands!
Looooooove this!!!!!
Love your Country Christmas card...especially with the gingham...can you tell that I'm a big gingham fan?
What a great scene and I love that bird! Fun. Hugz
