Saturday Bird Watching

So, I am sitting at my computer which is in one of the spare bedrooms in the front part of the house, and my husband is seemingly talking to himself in the dining room. This is not an uncommon occurrence at my house. If we are not talking to each other, we are usually talking to ourselves.

Anyway, I ask him what he is talking about and he points out that there is a beautiful black, white and red bird at the bird feeder in the front yard and he doesn’t think that he has ever seen one before. Of course, I grabbed my camera and headed for the front door!

There are always a large number of wild birds in our yard because of the bird feeder and we have quite a few Live Oak trees in the front and the back so they have plenty of places to perch and nest. Well, what I saw was exactly what he said, “A beautiful black, white and red bird at the bird feeder”!

I was so excited to be able to get these photos and I just had to look it up!

So this was the most exciting part of my Saturday! Now, I am going to eat pizza with my husband. Enjoy!

New from Laura Burger Designs!

I am back this week with some new layout shares showing off a few of Laura’s new products that are now available in the store at Forever.com. You can click on the link at any time to be taken to Laura’s store. If you are a scrapbooker or a wanna be scrapbooker, I encourage you to take a stroll through her store.

Here comes the Sun Bundle” is the newest kit that Laura has in the store. I just love the soft pinks, greens and yellows that are in this kit. Here is a preview along with some of the layout that I have created with the kit.

The next new item is Laura’s “Maskable Templates“. These are beautifully done and can easily be used with or without the blending layers. So versatile, they can be turned and flipped to make them what you need them to be. Here is a preview and a layout that I created with them.

I used the Maskable Templates and Here Comes The Sun

Last but certainly not least is “Flirting With Spring – Seamless Layflat Papers“. These are created in 12 X 24 and are just gorgeous! They can be used for a double layout or can be used separately on a 12 x 12 layout. Again, here is a preview along with the layout that I created.

Created with the Seamless Layflat Papers and “Captured Moments 7 Bundle”, also by Laura.

I hope you enjoy the preview and will stop by Laura’s store and share the Love! I also want to mention that all of these kits are created for sale at Forever.com and are for use with Forever’s software, Artisan. Artisan can be purchased on the Forever site HERE if you are interested. I have Artisan5 however, I create all of my layouts in Photoshop CS 6. Not all items will be interchangeable. Just sayin’!
