Whimsical Wednesday Challenge

Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #3 - Spring Has Sprung in our Homes


Hello and welcome to another Whimsical Wednesday Challenge! Just in case this is your first one, we have a challenge every week with each one staying open for two weeks. The first Wednesday of each month will be a Scrapbooking Challenge. We have a lot of fun challenges and prizes coming up, we would love for you to  play along!

This weeks theme is: "Spring has Sprung in our Homes" - Create a Home Decor project with a spring theme.
(no cards this week)

I chose to do a wall hanging for my project. I have always loved bird houses so I decided to use 3 of them from different cricut cartridges. I think I will keep this hanging on my door throughout the entire spring!




Materials:
Cindy Loo, Stretch Your Imagination and Create a Critter Cricut Cartridges
Cardstock: New Leaf, Lemon Tart, Hibiscus Burst, Blueberry Sky, Kraft & Dark Chocolate - PTI
Patterned Paper: Bitty Dot Basics - PTI
Swiss Dot Embossing Folder
Stickles

Pink Sorbet Twine - The Twinery
White & pink gel pens
Ric-rac, pom-pom ribbon, brads from my stash

Please head on over to the Whimsical Wednesday blog to link up your entry and check out the sneak peeks from the rest of the Design Team! I am sure you will be inspired.  I cannot wait to check out what you come up with!

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a Happy Day!

    Oh, Cathryn, I have scrolled and re-scrolled FOUR times ogling over each bird house and the two cute birds in the nest. This is a beautiful home decor project. I am inspired! Now I need to get a towel and wipe off the drool on my keyboard :)

    Oh Cathryn~ this is just INCREDIBLE! I LOVE this! I like that you used 3 different houses, with different colors, textures, and ALL the details too! This really turned out GORGEOUS! I love how you put the two love birds in their love nest at the end...clever and perfect! If you don't keep this up for a long time just ship it my way because I may never take it down! Great Job!
