I look up to the little bird
That glides across the sky
He sings the clearest melody
It makes me want to cry
It makes me want to sit right down
and cry cry cry, yeah. 
Have you ever seen something so beautiful that it made ya a wee bit teary? That perfect crafty goodness that just sang to you? That little bird sings to me often and when I see Lily Bee Design papers and Unity Stamps combined, it's a song I just have to whistle to as well. This past week, I've been suffering from Mojolostitis. A horrible disease lets face it! But with the help of the Lovely Collection and the Birdie Inspiration Stamp Set , I think my craft health has been repaired.
Both of these cards use the Lovely Collection from Lily Bee and the second, some beautiful stamps from Unity Stamp Company. The combination of light blues, lime greens, browns and oranges is simply delightful. I love the slight vintage feel and I hope you do too.
Quick Fix Adhesive Runner is used to bond all of the paper and the leaves have a little dab of that heaven in a tube AKA Liquid Scrapdots. I added a small line of Acid Free Glue to the ribbon for extra hold.
For this second card, I used 450 Quick Dry Adhesive on the rose and Zapdots cut in half, for the scroll. The sweet little bird is attached using Liquid Scrapdots. Oh little bird makes me want to fly away to that happy place. I think I'll put these creative wings to test since I'm free of the Mojolostitis…
I look up to the little bird
That glides across the sky
He sings the clearest melody
It makes me want to cry
It makes me want to sit right down
and cry cry cry, yeah.
I walk along the city streets
So dark with rage and fear
And I…
I wish that I could be that bird
And fly away from here
I wish I had the wings to fly away from here, yeah.
But Mamma I feel so low
Mamma where do I go?
Mamma what do I know?
Mamma we reap what we sow
They always said that you knew best
But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now
I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed
So I've just got to put these wings to test
For I am just a troubled soul
Who's weighted…
Weighted to the ground
Give me the strength to carry on
Till I can lay my burden down
Give me the strength to lay this burden down
down down yea
Give me the strength to lay it down
Lay it down, Lay it down.
But Mamma I feel so low
Mamma where do I go?
Mamma what do I know?
Mamma we reap what we sow.
They always said that you knew best
But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now
I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed
So I've just got to put these wings to test
