Our spring flowers are in bloom in our garden and the robin who builds a nest under our deck has returned. She built a nest and laid 3 beautiful blue eggs in it.
I took this photo of the nest from above and between the slats on our deck.

The space between the wood slats is just 3/4" of an inch so I put my camera on the opening and snapped away. I was so surprised that it turned out so well. The mama bird was perched on a tree not to far away watching me.
I thought these colors would make a great masculine card so that was my starting point.
My sentiment from the new Waltzingmouse “man of the hour" set. I love all of the masculine sentiments in this set.
I stamped in not quite navy on river rock cardstock. I stamped and popped up the word “God” for added dimension. Cut with the Spellbinders labels 4 die. The button is a Stampin-Up sizzlits die.
My layout is an old MojoMonday sketch #250.
The background baja breeze designer paper is from the Stampin-Up collection “Parisian Breeze”.
The next panel is using not quite navy designer paper from the Stampin-Up collection nautical expedition”. I cut the pennant flags with the Verve “pennant trim” die.
My vertical panel is cut in not quite navy cardstock and I used the Stampin-Up square lattice embossing folder. I cut a flag with an MFT flag stax die in baja breeze.
Well that's it for me for today so until next time..........God bless.
