I got brave and pulled out my Cricut cutter to see if I could make something that wasn't quilty. I found my"Make The Cut" forum and found a pattern for a birdhouse . I downloaded it, had it cut out and then wondered what to do with it. My creativity has improved over the years but once I saw what the other ladies had done with their birdhouses my spirits fell. Quilting I know. Paper crafts I do not.
After rummaging through the scrap booking stickers for birds and finding nothing. How can you NOT have birds? I picked out butterfly stickers and found some Japanese blossoms. I picked out some blue ribbon and headed home.
After playing around I came up with this:
My daughter said to put a candle in and with the lights off you get this:
I have one problem. If I tape the roof on, I can't get to the candle (fake one) to turn it on/ off. Any ideas?

Your birdhouse is very cute. Is there anyway you could have a hole in the bottom that would allow you to set the birdhouse over the candle?
So cute! I'm not great with paper, either. I do keep a scrapbook type journal for my quilts, but it is positively plain compared to a real scrapper's. lol I think you did a great job!
Very pretty, lit or unlit! Happy Thanksgiving Bethany!
