Another of my all time favorites for christmas are Robins on cards....we have several in our garden and I love to see them come down to the bird bath.....
I have made 2 cards this week....a fun one for the children and a more traditional one....








a nice little squeeze card.....easy for posting ....
Hope you all enjoyed the challenge ladies....I will be going round to have a look at your lovely creations....

I love robins Margaret they are so cute with their little twinkling black eyes! Sorry I've gone off on one again! Seriously though, your cards are wonderful I particularly like the one with the music backing paper 'cos it looks as if he is singing along! This has been a fabulous theme.

Hugs to you Sue Pxxx

Hi Margaret thanks for a great challenge. Like you, Robins are one of my favourite images in the garden and on Christmas cards. Thanks too for making me use my stamp carving kit at last.
I love your cards with two jolly robins and the postbox just has to feature somewhere with a robin! Zx

Two very lovely cards. The children will love theirs...the little robin gleams!

The second is so pretty with the decoupage layers...and I love the mailbox in the background!

Great theme this week, Margaret! I enjoyed stretching myself a bit to make this one and now I am planning some more robin cards as I managed to find a stamp that will work after all!

Two lovely cards, with a unique style for each. Love these cheeky robins, and had to have a 2nd look at #2 to realize it is a 'fold' card. So very pretty & bright...you can just see him ready to hop off the card. I always love seeing that smiling face you have on your side bar when I visit. Thanks for sharing this sweet lady with us! Hugs & TFS
