I watched Laura from "The Paper Trail" blogspot create a birdhouse mini. With that inspiration, I put my creative hat on to create one with my Cricut machine. To create the box, I used chipboard and found these wooden pieces at Joann's for the roof. The roof pieces were painted with a two step crackle medium and acrylic paint. Album pages are made with an envelope cut from my Cricut. The envelope was glued only on the corners so I could have pockets on the bottom of the pages. Envelope flaps were used to attach Ciruct cuts to make room for more pictures. I was planning to make my own flowers but those "prima" flowers at Micheal's were on sale this week, so, I caved in and bought them. I feel like I went on an authentic bird hunt to find my bird on the perch, finally finding my bird at a floral shop.
