Hello again! It's an unusual situation that I'll have a post every day this week, but there are certain challenges that caught my eye and I'd like to join in before the week is over. At the same time I've got my self-challenge to use all the summer-themed NBUS I set aside, and fall is closing in fast, so the race is on. Pretty sure I'm going to lose that race, but I'm still having fun.
Today I have an All Dressed Up digital stamp called Woodland Bird. Maybe it doesn't look like a birthday card, but it is. I made it for our 9 yr old neighbor. The bird with mushrooms is the digital stamp. I added the sentiment and music notes from my stash.
For extra color and festivity I added die cut fun flowers and plenty of sparkle. The heart which hangs from the mushroom has "tweet dreams" written on it, but I covered that with a punched heart, considering this is a birthday card. Sorry, no balloons or cake or candles. Coloring was done with Copics.
Sharing the inside which uses an oldie bird stamp from my stash, plus the music notes (from a Power Poppy Christmas stamp set), and a brand new-to-me Rubbernecker sentiment. A lot of different things from my stamp room came together for this card!
I'll list supplies below my signature, but first -- today's challenges:
Double D Challenge -- Colorful. I had this challenge in mind from the beginning and I'm hoping this is colorful enough.
All Dressed Up Challenge #108. Anything goes with an All Dressed Up image.
NBUS Challenge #18. The All Dressed Up digi stamp and the inside Rubbernecker sentiment are NBUS.
Thank you so much for your time today. Wishing you all things wonderful!

Super cute cute image and colored so prettily! Fabulous design, too! I know I will never get all my summer things used, but think I will use them all year, maybe someone will appreciate them in the dead of winter lol! Thanks so much too for joining our challenge at Double D.
Oh yes, the colors are FABULOUS and Love your music note additions ... perfect! HEY I thought those were balloons that little bird is holding in his beak ... looks like balloons to me! LOL And, he has on a party hat! You're GOOD!
Beautiful coloring and design as always! Good luck on your 'mission' ... I gave up on that a long time ago and just make what ever makes me happy what ever time of year it is! LOL And, like Diane, it just might bring a smile to someone who has winter hum-drums.
Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D ‘Colorful’ challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

This is just adorable, Leslie! Your coloring leaves me speechless...so beautiful. Love the bright colors on the mushrooms!
So very cute and I love the way you colored this design. I am sure it will be a card very much loved by your nine year old neighbor too.
Gorgeous and I'm sure your neighbor loved it. I love how you pull so many different things together to come up with one fabulous idea.
You are definitely on a roll!I think you can use these all year long - adorable. Your card is so bright and cheery - I'm sure your neighbor will love it. The little bird tweeting away makes the card with it sitting on the mushroom!
This looks perfect for a birthday card for a young lady, Leslie! Love the bright colors and the happy notes! Who needs balloons when you have all this fun color!
How cute is that? Love the vibrant colors and I am sure she'll love it.
Are you kidding, Leslie? It's the best birthday card EVER for a nine-year-old! The whimsy, coloring, and schparkle will bring a HUGE smile!! Thank you so much for sharing with everyone at NBUS! And a high five for doing so well on using your summer virginal goodies!! Hugs, Darnell
Oh My, such a sweet and colorful birdie and mushroom card for your 9 year old friend, Leslie. TFS and describing all your fun steps. Can you believe the smoke and east wind we had today:-( Looks like the smoke will be hanging around for a few days. Never seen anything like it on our beautiful Oregon coast. Lots of never before's this past year+. Stay safe and Creative my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
Oh my goodness that is just the cutest, I would say I thought it was a birthday card first thing, love the little birthday hat and looks like she is bringing a gift of a sparkling twig :) Love the colors, such a neat idea to cover up the other sentiment so you could use it for a different theme! Your added flowers bring a festive feel to it all too, love how you brought the theme to the inside too, she is going to love this!
Leslie, all of these images are just so adorable and you colored them beautifully, those bright colors and the super sweet little scene bring a smile to my face.
Thank you for sharing.
