Whilst visiting some of my favourite blogs ... I followed a link that Kirsty put on her blog to a scrap challenge at Scrap - It - Lah ... where the challenge is to make a scrapbook page based on your hobby ... and include something on the page to do with this hobby ... Well, I have wanted to scrap this picture for ages ... just because it is special to me ... I love wildlife and love to watch the birds everyday ... First thing even before I get dressed I am out to feed them ... and having had cats ... I have saved many birds and creatures in my time ... This particular bird a Coal Tit ... I came across one morning when we were staying in a log cabin in Derbyshire ... it was lying on the decking and I thought it was dead ... probably hit the glass window ... But not not one to give up I cradle it for a long time and it sparked back to life ... and then seemed very reluctant to go ... just kept clinging to my finger looking at me ... it was a privileged moment ...
Now I have to confess that after searching through my papers for over 2 hours to find just the right thing ... I came across this from Memory Keepers ... which already had the title and mat for the picture ... But it was just so right that I had to use it ... I added some more border, doily, flower, button and both the little birds ... I glittered some chipboard letters too and matted my photos onto card that the prima flowers come on ...
you may be wondering what I was looking at on this photo ... well we also had a squirrel come to see what the fuss was ...
I hope you are having a great day ...
Till soon

What a precious moment indeed!
Love the colours that you created with, my favourite combo (the greens and aquas) and I have a whole section of these colours of papers in my paper stash! You selected so well, and that title :)
Oh Ros, that picture of you and the bird is awesome! I can so imagine you wanted to 'do' something with it! Well, you succeeded all right! Your papers even match your sweater, LOL!
Absolutely gorgeous page, and the photo is priceless, to hold a bird in your hand!
Fabulous LO Ros. I so wish I could get a little birdie to perch on my finger. IT would make my day. :)
Hugs~
