OK, I think I am totally intrigued by As You See It #159's "super stash" challenge, not that I think it applies to me at all. Shhh. So naturally, I think I should throw in TGIF #126's Fancy Fold challenge to give me more space to work with, lol. Let's just see how this all goes! So of course knowing that one of my elements was a bird, I turned right away to Best Birds. I felt like I really wanted there to be rich and varied colors to absorb the dark blue I also need, so I pulled out Whole Lot of Lovely DSP, too. Then I tried to pick a couple patterns that I thought would compliment each other for a double-z fold, which I think are super fun! I ended up with this result, and my lovely birdie girl in blue back and tail feathers - I think it works! My stripes are the vines on the darker paper, and I pulled out some ancient brads for some final touches. Whew! I think I made it!

Isn't Best Birds a greats set?! I love how you've created an almost-jungle of glorious vine-stripes for her to sit in. The rich colours are wonderful and the z-fold is a great fold. Thanks for joining in with us again, Heather, at As You See It.

Heather, this is a fine representation of your "stash", which, if your card says anything, is totally amazing and full of treasures! I love your bluebird in the jungle stripes! Thanks for playing along at As You See It Challenge.
