Home Sweet Home - Altered Bird House

Well friends, today it's time to get back to work & school.  Christmas break is officially over so you know what that means right?!  Let the count down to Spring Break begin, lol.  The break was good but honestly I'm glad to be back to a regular schedule.  

I sincerely want to THANK all of you who joined us for the very first Paper Wings Productions Design Team Blog Hop.  It really means a lot to me when I see familiar names visiting us on the PWP blog and even signing up as followers.  You guys are the BESTEST crafty peeps in the whole world and I'm so BLESSED to know you all :D  I'd also like to WELCOME my newest bloggie friends who joined me for the first time over the weekend.
GOOD LUCK to all of you who entered the PWP Giveaway!!

Last night I finished a little altered bird house I've been working on and I think this one came out a little more feminine than most of my projects so I hope you like it:

The metal butterfly has been sitting in my scrap bin for awhile so I'm really happy that I finally used it.

The little satin rose have literally been in my stash for over 10 years, YIKES!

I used a combination of patterned papers from my scrap bin, book text, tulle, beads and flowers to dress it up.

Here's a look at he back side, you can see some of the random stamping I added.  I applied a light white wash to the entire thing.

I think it's different for me but I really like it and hope you do too!

Thank you so much for visiting me today.  I hope you have a BEAUTIFUL day!!

I've entered this project in the Simon Says Stamp & Show Challenge: Embrace The Old
