Create a Calendar, April.

April for me is all about the birds nesting and raising their young in the nest box we have up in the tree. I also have one of those houses on a pole which I was told would just be a feature in the garden and never be used as an actual nest box but despite being metres away from a busy main road and not too high off the ground they do actually nest in it.

That was the inspiration behind my stamp designs "Tweet Tweet" and "Nests are Best" both of which I've used here.

Do you have nest boxes in the garden?

Tweet little birdies.

I'm up to June with my layout per month and this one is based around the pictures of the birds nesting on the back of the house.

I chose to use two of my own stamp designs to create the layout, Tweet Tweet and Nests are Best.

I stamped the border top and bottom and used watercolours to add a touch of colour. I stamped around where I wanted to place the photo's with a few other small stamps, some more watercolour paint and a bit of cotton thread.

The acrylic chevrons are also found in Sarah's shop.

I hope you enjoyed my layout.
