#201 Feathered Friends

Good Morning and Happy Easter to you and your families. It's not Easter here in Cyprus until May but we have lots of visitors from the UK for the Easter holidays and it's lovely to see everyone again. The Winter's are much quieter here and once UK Easter arrives the whole island comes to life again.

It's my turn to choose the theme at Ooh la la challenges and I have chose 'Feathered Friends'. At this time of year the birds are very busy and noisey in our garden. They seem to be arguing over every little piece of grass or straw for their nests....it's really funny to watch them. We get lots of beautiful birds visiting too. This is an Eagle Owl who came to visit a couple of years ago......in the daytime would you believe!!

Here is my inspiration for you.



The image and background paper are from the Ooh La La CD Shawn Jenkins Collection. The diecut flowers are Sizzix and the lace trim is from a new shop just opened here in Cyprus aptly named The Little Shop.

 The owner is stocking mainly woodcrafts and decoupage materials but she does have stamps and some lace and she plans to sell punches. So it's a beginning and I will visit her to encourage this new enterprise here in Paphos.

I hope I've inspired you to join the challenges. You do not have to use and Ooh La La image but it would great if you did and remember you can get freebies at Ooh La la Creations. You'll find the link on the challenge blog. Just click on the link in the sidebar to take you there.

Happy Crafting and Happy Easter to you all!!

  1. Wow, that's quite a visitor to your garden Wynn, think that fella may get the better of my mog Merlot who is the boss of our garden. Great news that you have a new craft shop on the island, hope its a successful venture. Love your card today - a popular image choice with the DT. Happy Easter, Jx

  2. I love this image - as you can see from my card! You've made a beautiful elegant card with it. I'm glad there is a beginning of craftiness for you in Paphos.
