Feeding the Birds and Bubbles

Just stopping in to post two new layouts that I did a few weeks ago..

My niece LOVES to help her grandma put birdseed in the bird feeders. On this particular day, she wanted her papa (my dad) to help lift her up so she can reach the feeder.

I used a sketch from PageMaps.

Birdhouse

I know it has been awhile since I've blogged. Bad blogger I am!

Here is an altered birdhouse that I made for my stepmom for her birthday. She has a whole tree dedicated to birdfeeders and a few birdhouses. I got the unfinished wood birdhouse from Hobby Lobby. I know the pictures aren't the greatest. I have to work on better photography skills!

The front of the birdhouse. I painted the edges and undersides a turquoise-y blue color.

The back of the birdhouse. I used We R Memory Keepers paper. I do not remember the name of the line. I will have to get back to you on that!

This is the roof of the birdhouse. I originally had the roof covered in just the yellow paper. I didn't like how it looked so I took my scalloped border punch and made "shingles" for the roof. It looks 100% better with the "shingles."
I also used scalloped strips of paper to cover up the uneven cut lines.

I didn't put anything too fancy on the birdhouse because I knew that my stepmom was going to want to put it outside. It took about 6 or 7 coats of mod podge to fully protect it from the outside elements.
