Sent With Care

I started to tidy my craft room the other day and I came across this cute designer paper with birds from Stampin' Up. I thought the little birds looked like they were passing a message onto one another. I punched the little scalloped corners with the SU scallop oval punch. I ended up making this card and have yet to finish cleaning my craft room...I think I just added to the mess!

They were from Monica over at Gardner's Basket who is hosting one of the Tangled Up in creativity challenges this month.
