Another Elements of Style

Hi All!
Where has the week gone? It's just flown by! I have mega work to do around here today so this will be a short post! Hopefully, I'll get a chance to do some crafting later today.

I saw this "spotlight" technique on someone's blog a week or so ago and decided to give it a try. I don't remember who had done this :(       ... isn't it pretty?

Here is the inside of my card....

You may have noticed that my last few cards have not had a sentiment on them ... I find that quite often I am looking for a card for a specific reason and don't have one that fits the occasion ... because I've already put a sentiment on it for another occasion.... so I decided to make some cards that are "sentiment free" and then I can add that as the need arises.

Hope you enjoyed your peek here today!

Have a great weekend!

The Flight of the Hummingbird!

Good Morning!
Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Here is another card from Elements of Style... I saw a similar background done by Ann Schach and had to put my own take on it.

Did you know that a hummingbirds wings beat at about 60 to 80 beats per SECOND? Wow! And because they can rotate their wings in a circle they have the ability to fly backwards, forwards, up, down, sideways, and hover - the only bird that is able to do this! Is that not amazing?
And - the normal resting heart beat of a hummingbird is 480 beats per minute.... just imagine that little heart beating so fast!

I'll stop now - could give you lots more facts about these amazing little creatures but I won't.
Have a wonderful day ... hope you see a hummingbird or two today!

Blessings
