Sending Sweet Tweets Your Way!

Hello hello, my crafty friends!!! I am so excited about the card I have to share with you today.. Do you ever get a crafting idea in your head and just have to create it?? Well, that's what happened with this card but it turned out so much cuter then I had thought it would (I just love it when that happens, lol).. So, to create this card I blew the dust off of my Gypsy because I needed her help to weld all my shapes together (she totally rocks at helping work my shapes,lol)..Here's what my and Gypsy created....

These two birds turned out so adorable!! I used a circle and

 an acorn top from the Create a Critter cartridge 

to create these cuties..

I just love making these partial front cards!!!

Then, I had to add an action wobble to my quote bubble..
