April CP Creative Weekly :: Blue Bird

 

 

 In moving along with this week's central focus, "Blue Birds", our CP Girl, Latonia, begins today's post with a bird house built from love and for her daughter. It's a sweet retreat for a fine feathered friend and is CUTE beyond words...

This month I immediately thought about the bird house that we had outside our home when we lived on base as a little girl and while I didn't know what type of bird it was at that time, I just remembered that it's stomach was blue and that I thought it to be very pretty. I didn't care much for the chirping but it was always there and eventually, I grew quite fond of it. So, this month, I knew exactly what I wanted to create - a BIRD HOUSE! Conveniently, I found this chipboard bird house at my local craft store. When I saw it, I fell immediately in LOVE! My little blue bird finally has a home and it's pretty cute!

I remember having read a book about "Blue Birds" a long time ago. It was the story of little girls who'd been trying to find a blue bird known for bringing about great happiness. I became caught up in reading the book and at the end, I learned that most don't notice the happiness that is at their side. All one has to do to find it, is look down. Now, I have three children at my side, and they're my happiness and treasure.

When we were asked to do a project using the bluebird chipboard piece as inspiration, the phrase 'blue bird of Happiness' immediately popped into my head. I decided to create a little gift set that could be given to someone just to brighten their day. But, what could be inside the little tin I wanted to make? I decided to peruse my favorite online source of inspiration, Pinterest, for the answer. And I found it in these ADORABLE little blue bird candies!

My son and I ran to the bakery supply store, grabbed what we needed and, VOILA, a flock of jordan almond blue birds were born!

I created my tin using some Pretty Party paper from the mini-pad and a small length of Random trim. I was so excited to get my hands on the coordinating frames and decided that it would be the perfect backdrop for the chipboard blue bird. I painted it with Gesso and white paint then added some chunky glitter. More trim, a button and a chipboard butterfly embellish the blue bird's wings. The little blue bird candies fit perfectly inside. I made the coordinating card and one day soon, I'll be giving this little treat to a deserving friend!
