They cut like a dream and these are pretty easy to align. I can tell I have a little too much white border on the bottom right design of my stamped bird image, so hopefully next time, I'll get it perfectly right.
I was inspired by the current weekly Card Sketch #552 over at SplitCoastStampers, but made a few minor tweaks with placement.
Made this card as a very belated thank you to my fellow blog team member and friend Lynn to thank her for her incredibly generous support of a Card Donation Call I'm hostessing at SCS to benefit cancer patients at the Ronald McDonald House locations.
I'm hostessing the month of Jan 2016, and in addition for my call for cards which will be donated to the Pasadena, CA location, I'm also committed to donating a minimum of 10 cards each month to each of the monthly hostesses so that a different RMH location throughout the US can be highlighted.
Lynn sent me a whopping 162 cards WITH envelopes for the Pasadena location.
Here's a sample of her GORGEOUS cards that she sent. (I apologize for the low lighting; I couldn't find my DSLR at the time and had to rely on my iphone camera.)
I haven't yet made my way to the center yet to drop off by have set up an appointment with the Center Director to meet with her in a few weeks to drop off. I'll be sure to post pictures so Lynn can see how her generosity has impacted others.
Thank you so very very very much Lynn!

Ching, what a fabulous and fun Tim Holtz bird card! I've been seeing these crazy birds all over blogland and beyond and yours stand right out in the crowd! I love the blue hues, his fun expression - what a lovely card design, too! That's a wonderful card assortment from Lynn - indeed she is one of the kindest ladies I know, I'm not a bit surprised! Happy Weekeend!
That delightful little bird arrived at my house this weekend, Ching, and now I know I have to get this fabulous TM set! I have added your wonderful card to the bulletin board above my computer that holds remarkable cards crafted by my talented stamper friends. They inspire me every day and remind me that although at times it seems like it, I am NOT alone in this amazing obsession known as paper crafting and stamping!
I am thrilled that my cards with be used by those needing the services of the Ronald McDonald House. It is such a worthwhile organization working with those in need during a very stressful time. Thank you, Ching, for the great work you are doing for them.
Thanks, Kelly, for your kind words!
That Crazy Bird is adorable! Love your coloring- I have to invest in the dies....I have alot of new stuff to use....... Great job on the sketch- very pretty colors too.
