I love little cardinals. I love seeing them in winter. The little touch of  red

as it contrasts to the snow is so cheery. Now my husband and sons like cardinals

but of a different type. They are all Cardinal baseball fans. They were so hoping to

see them in the world series this year. I was going to make a card saying way to go cardinals

and have it be a waterfall card, but after a few minutes of the game last night,

I knew that plan wouldn't work. I had these 4 little cardinals panels all stamped and assembled...

What to do with a change of plans? ...Well, I started by looking  in my embellishment drawer.

In the drawer were some gaudy red ribbons and bells with a puffy,satin Christmas tree. The were given to me as a gift and I thought, I will never use these... but at the same

time I am such a hoarder, I couldn't get rid of them, and I'm glad I didn't.

 They were the perfect finishing  touch to my little cardinal panels.

 

This shows the back side of two of the tags.I had a thought afterwards

that kinda tied into the Cardinals losing the game that these

could say "for whom the bell tolls." I may put a little note saying that

and give them to my guys.
