For the hop today, I've created a beautiful LO of my kids, my parakeets. Blu, my oldest died last year. I had her 14 years. I just got my 2 newest ones as a present in April. I named them Leo and Bucky.

Well, now on to my LO.

Here is the main supplies I used.


Here is my finished project. Nothing spectacular was done.Simple yet sweet.


I cut my photos out with "imperial" decorated scissors. I placed the photos on top of some old doilies. I then took my stickles and went around the edge of doilies with matching color of bird, so I used blue, green, yellow. I had a package of adhesive backed chipboard letters and there was no name on them, I had no idea what I was saving them for so I used them as my title. The double layer flower came from the same set. I took my dyna label maker to print out the names and stuck them next to there pictures. 

Here is a close up of each bird. 

Blu - 14 years old


Leo - 11 months


Bucky - 11 months





Hope you enjoyed checking out my kids. Now hop on over to the scrapbooking queen

  1. Your birds are great! We used to have parakeets and canaries when I was a kid. They are fun pets. I love the doily idea which was only made better when you added the bling of stickles!!

  3. How "TWEET"! Leo & Bucky looked like they are going to be spoiled with love & care. Your layout is terrific & the color choice is beautiful. I love that they look like they are standing at the doorway ready to go. Sorry to hear about Blu.

  5. Parakeets remind me of my old parakeet. I miss her. I didn't think they could live as long as yours did. Mine only lived for about 6 years.
