June SOTM and 1st attempt at HAS

Okay,
here's the card I am NOT exchanging in the HAS (Humble Artists Swap)
It was my first attempt at getting all the bases covered, but it doesn't really sing to me.
So,
I will share it with all of you
and ask for your feedback.

 I took this shot so you could see how I lined up the green cardstock

before I added the other layers.

place the large bird so that when the card is "closed"

 he is looking at the little bird

I am going to play around with challenge for a while

if you want to join me in going crazy

here are a couple of guidelines

NO patterned paper

Minimum of 8 layers

Use only paper--no ribbon or twine or other stuff

and use 6 stamped images (minimum)

Check back in the middle of June to see what I actually exchanged.

Toronto Update

I am so loving this band exchange.
The kids are wonderful,
the people are wonderful,
the attractions are wonderful,
In fact everything is wonderful.....except
for today.
It's raining and we are scheduled to perform outdoors at Wonderland (?)
Pic's to follow when I get home

Do you ever get those days (weeks)

when you bite off more than you can chew.

This is one of those weeks

So my card is quick & simple

Hope you like it.

Looking at it, I wish I had a couple of buttons to add in the bottom corner,

but my stash is getting kinda low

so this is all there is.

Now hop on over to Faye's  blog
