Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's time for a new challenge at Color Hues.

This Nordic bird keeps flitting over and landing on my cards!
This time he's making an appearance on a birthday card for a sweet niece.

He's simply cut from some of that sparkly blue cardstock that was gifted to me.

Now let's go and see what my talented friends and our
fantastic Guest Designer, my talented friend Bobby have done to inspire you.


I hope you'll create a card using Blue and White and add it to the gallery at


Challenge ends at 9:00 AM on January 29th.

The Nordic bird has good taste, Bonnie! He keeps landing on some beautiful cards that you've created. I do love the embossed background and how the die cut stem coordinates. Gorgeous card!
