Happy New Year, my friend! Your choices are delightful - I sure hope I feel up to crafting along soon!
What a darling little tri-plex you've made for your Chickadee!

Brrrr - I feel the cold air coming off your post. It's a good thing that this sweet Chickadee has a beautiful warm home to go into. What a wonderful way to start the New Year -

Happy New Year Bonnie, such a sweet little scene and perfect for your colour choice. Things are still green over here but an Arctic blast is on it's way to welcome the new year! :)

Oh, my goodness, what a cute stamp combo! I love that you added the little chickadee. All birdhouses need a bird. It's absolutely precious both here and on your calendar. Wishing you a happy and healthy new year, Bonnie!

Happy New Year 2026!

A great card and an amazing color choice. Gray and red as a color combination are quite technical for me, so I have a feeling this would be the perfect card for a guy. You beautifully incorporated these birdhouses into the embossed wood background. A wonderful start to the New Year. Another beautiful and inspiring card, my dear Bonnie.

Bonnie, I have a question... could I comment on your cards in my language? Would it be a problem for you to turn on the translator for you? It will make commenting easier for me, as I'll be able to comment with the ease of my native language. English is very limiting for me because I don't know the language :-(
