Loving Thoughts Birdcage and Artsy Hair

Thank you for joining The Craft's Meow release hop. I hope you found tons of inspiration to apply to your own paper crafted projects.

Today's card uses one of my new TCM sets called Tweet of You (birdcage) and the sentiment is from Sent With Love. It's a fairly simple card with lots of "white" (patterned paper in this case) space.
Thoughts of You Birdcage
The gorgeous papers are Melissa France. You can see my new favorite embellishment, Want2Scrap's rose ribbon on this card again. I think what makes it stand out from other companies' similar product is its smaller size, just perfect for card makers like me. The little bird is a punch by Martha Stewart.

Now on a different topic: hair. My girls love it when I fix their hair beyond the simple ponytail. Here are some of our hair adventures that were so much fun to make and produce beautiful results.

This first one we call Everlasting braid bun because you can't tell where the braid starts and ends. 
 Here is the back view: 

This one is called the Waterfall Braid, which is perfect with shoulder-length hair.
Have a great day, friends!
