I love all of the beautiful bird cards. I love birds anyway. They are such fun to watch. Ours are spoiled and I think yours are too if I remember correctly. It cracks me up that you've had them since last August but I have a feeling we can all relate. [Bunny]
Hold me back! This amazing collection took my breath away. It's back now so no need to worry about me, but my heart is still fluttering. Oh, the birds and the beautiful settings you gave them! Such a beautiful sentiment set, too. Lovely expressions. I bought your sympathy set and have been enjoying it. Plan to print some more, in fact. Must get on that because it's really so easy. You know... last August doesn't sound like so long to me. You know how I am. Trying to be better. A gorgeous collection of cards today, Donna!
Wonderful bird cards are these!
Thank you for joining us at TRY IT ON TUESDAY!
What a beautiful medley of cards there. Loving them all. Could not pick out a favourite. Thank you for your kind words about the cards. I pray to God that they sell and I can share the proceeds with these courageous women.
My forum United World Sanctuary is doing well. We will complete 3 years this month. Planning to host an event on the 15th where we will do meditation and browse pretty coffee table books.
How are you, my brave and courageous friend?
Love,
Monica
Wow such beautiful cards - love the birds and designs of your cards - great job as always thanks for sharing!!!
Wow these are beautiful cards Donna and I am amazed you found so many different designs to use for the same stamp set, I sometimes struggle coming up with just one! All are so well thought out and each with beautiful details...VERY well done!!
Such a gorgeous array of cards De. I adore them all. The sentiments are beautiful & very meaningful sweetie.

A beautiful and colorful set of cards, Donna! I love the way you've colored the birds, and would love to see them all at my feeders! You've complimented those stunning birdies with beautiful papers and die cuts. Big congratulations on your latest stamps--they are beautiful! Sending hugs!
Donna, your cards are gorgeous! I love each one. Sometimes it happens that things take a while to mature in our craft room, but when they do, they are magnificent. I think that is what happened here.

Wowser! What a gorgeous flock of cards! Beautifully colored and coordinated. Love that you incorporated your Kindness stamp on the first one - I think that is my favorite! Such a pretty collection Donna. Thanks for sharing!
Very lovely cards! Perfect for the season as well!
What a beautiful set you designed and so many stunning bird cards, enjoyed all of them!
Hi Donna, so many wonderful cards. I just love the birds and creating nature cards. They are great for all occasions. Blessings to you.
Wow! 7 cards with birds, all in different colors and layouts. That’s an achievement. Normally I’m not too fond of bright yellow and blue. But you’ve made it my new favorite! But really, they all look amazing.
Ps: so pleased you liked my Twofer cards with animals, I’m honored to be picked a favorite, thanks!
The bird images are absolutely stunning! All of these designs are so so gorgeous!! You've done such an amazing job showcasing this set!! Love how each and every one is differently done! You're very talented sweet lady! HUGS
A beautiful set of cards with all those lovely birds
