BSS IDEA - BIRDHOUSE

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Idea.

Hope everyone had a fun St Paddy's Day weekend.
Always think of it as the first real sign of Spring.  Would be nice
for the snow to stop, but the sun has been out for a few days
and that feels so good!

Was in the store on Friday, and there is a lot of new stamps
and stuff for Spring.  Easter is everywhere with beautiful
stamps and dies.  If you love bunnies like I do, there are lots
of them to choose from!

This weeks card is a stamp that just caught my eye right away!



Stamp - Penny Black-Aviary (40-590)
Papers- White and dark brown card stock
Designer paper-Authentique-Jubilee Four Paper
Hello die - Spellbinders
Oval dies - Spellbinders Grand dies
Colored with Copis
Finished card is 5x7 inches

Seems like we have a lot of birds around already.
I think they may have come back a couple of weeks
too soon! I feed them year round, and on Friday,
there were Blue Jays, Cardinals, Finches, Morning Doves,
 Red Wing Black Birds, Squirrels (4)
and a bunny all feeding at the same time!
When I went to restock my seed supply, the woman
checking me out asked if I worked at a zoo!! HA!

Thanks for stopping by today.
Have a great day, Until later.....

additional sentiments) Stampendous (SSC1257)
