Can I just say I have an adorable husband?
Just look at this cutie!

For this page I wanted to have somewhat of a manly color scheme and feel...

okay it didn't turn out too overly manly...

I really liked the cork board paper.
I used to to mimick a message board; I have a clip board holding up my "polorid" picture and "pins" to hold up my writing strips.        

I used ribbon, lace, a metal spiral and a bear stamp (colored with color pencil) for details [right]

You know those cute stickers you can buy at Hobby Lobby, Walmart, Michael's etc.? 
Why not save the $3-$6 bucks and make your own?

I took my inspiration for my large bird from my bird paper (right side of my page). I chose similar colors, the blues, in my scrap paper pile and made the bird. 

If your not much of an artist use a pencil and lightly sketch your desired cut out before hand. 

I glued my "beak" down first and then my "feet" and last my bird "body" and "wing." I drew the eye lashes with a skinny black Sharpie.

It turned out great! Plus I got to use scrap paper. 

Waste not, want not, right?




You can see my bird inspiration a little better on my paper to the right.
