Hi readers! Happy Saturday! I just adore this card special guest Yana Smakula made from the too cool for school Cuddly Critters dog complemented with a party hat from the Cuddly Critters Accessories, and the Donut? Well it looks good enough to eat, especially with the cool bonus “drizzle” of puff embossing powder! Be sure to watch the video too, and enjoy! *Ahem* Pass the donuts, won’t you? ;)

Do you have a special photo you want to display in your home? A special event you’d like to showcase? I have a new grandniece who has made my sister a grandmother for the first time. I thought this would be a nice gift for her.

The Frameworks Birdhouse from Prima can be decorated so many ways, I chose to go Shabby Chic with pink and white roses to that coordinate with my photo. This is one of those projects that just flowed, everything came together so nicely.

I tried out the paperclay from Prima, I really liked how it looks like stone. The heart mold from WOW was a great choice and fit perfectly on the top of the birdcage along with some twine.

I knew I wanted to suspend some sort of banner on the inside, and the Tim Holtz Alphanumeric Thinlits fit the name and were chunky enough to run through my sewing machine.

A new product that I tried out was the Prima’s Art Stones. They are unique paperclay balls in various sizes that add a nice texture and can be painted or left as is. They were the perfect touch for the bottom of the cage. I think it gives this a garden look.

I have shot a full process video of this project. You can view it below or on our YouTube channel.
