These are all turning out so gorgeous! I love the variation on them too. Whizzy, love the scalloped roof. Michelle, the bird and other embellishments look fantastic!

This is a fun challenge! I borrowed inspiration from Michelle (thank you!) when I saw the bird she used. It triggered my memory that I had some small birds in a cupboard downstairs. I added some bling to the base and to the center of the plasticky flowers.

These are so amazing, everyone! I am so excited to see all of your interpretations of my challenge. Sorry for the minimal response from me. I have been away chaperoning Fife and Drum Camp (had a blast as usual!) and am catching up on work this week, as well as preparing for another vacation next week.

I hope to catch up with forum and complete some more challenges sometime soon! I miss you all!

Turquoise and white is one of my favorite color cominations. Looks good. I can see a tree set up in my sunroom with nothing but these birdhouses on them. Maybe I could even get it done in this lifetime. :ROFLMBO:

Thanks Elizabeth, Elsa and Sheri.

Elisabeth, I think a lot of us are encountering spells of being MIA. I think it just comes with the summer months. Hopefully you will get a chance to work on some challenges this week.

Elsa, that sounds like it would be so pretty to make a tree of birdhouses. You could also have little birds perched on branches. The file is really nice. It cuts and goes together really easy.

Another very pretty version of this birdhouse Jeanette.

This is a very cute file I can see making some of these in Christmas mode and giving one of them to each of my kids to hang on their trees. I think it would be fun to make a different ornament every year, to send to each of the kids, so they could have a 'family' ornament for each year.
Now if only they would all move out and get trees of their own to hang them on...sigh...
