That's me this week - free as a bird! All I have to show for my SU Regional meeting is this never been used name tag. Our NY regional was cancelled because of snow! I have consoled myself by browsing through the entries at Pals Paper Arts this week. It is an inspiration challenge based on the photo below and I have seen some wonderful work so far. Kim and Ann Beale's birdhouses are adorable. Mary and Ann's birds are elegant. And Gina's unexpected text from her children's book is delightful!

Key-lightful! I thought of you when I saw Syracuse was canceled. Are you still buried? Hugs, M
ReplyDeleteI think being socked in with snow is VERY good for creativity, Linda! This is delightful and so innovative! You are a MAster!! I hope the weather gets better by Thursday! I'll be thinking of you while in Hyde Park.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I love that you set your birds free :-) Great card!
ReplyDeleteLike Mary, I thought "Oh, no!" when they cancelled your regional! However, this card is WONDERFUL! You are such a creative lady! The title brings back memories of Lynyrd Skynyrd's classic "Free Bird"! When I retire from teaching in 67 school days (who's counting), I want to be as creative as you! And, thanks for the shout out!
ReplyDeleteI agree, you are one creative woman! I love your take on the challenge. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteI love your cards! They're always infused with your terrific personality and sense of humor! This is no exception. I didn't even notice the key in the photo until you pointed it out.
ReplyDeleteOops, I forgot to say thank you for the shout out! Glad you liked the excerpt!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that your regional was cancelled due to snow. But your card is absolutely gorgeous! OI love that you added the pretty gold chain to the key.

I hope that they will have another regional in the northeast, soon! Atlantic City was my personal favorite!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card - great use of that medallion. Cute commentary about letting those birds free.
I said out loud, 'Oh no, poor Linda', my family all wondering 'who is Linda' LOL, my Pal!!! - SO sorry it was cancelled!! Oooo, Atlantic City, if ever there again, we are on it OK?!!! Love how you interpreted the picture, I never even noticed the key until now. I love it!! Awesome!! And thanks so much for your sweet shout out!!
ReplyDeleteYou come up with the coolest ideas! That's a bummer that you didn't get to go to regionals. I'm sure you'll get another chance. Great card!
