Trendspotting: birds
Whenever I think of Mother’s Day, I think of flowers and birds. I’m not sure if it’s because of all of the “mother bird” analogies, or if it’s because my own mother has always loved birds. Whatever the reason, I think birds are a great accent for Mother’s day pages, cards, and paper projects. I wanted to share just a few of the bird-themed products available right now:
Die-cut from Sizzix:
beautiful accent pieces from Prima Marketing:
This sweet little bird chipboard sticker from October Afternoon:
Wood accents from Maya Road:
This fun border punch by Martha Stewart Crafts:
This fun bird clip from K & Company - part of their SMASH collection:
This pretty bird stamp is from Inkadinkado:
This cute dimensional birdie sticker is from Doodlebug Design:
What do you think? Do you associate birds with Mother’s day? Do you have a favorite bird-themed product or project you would like to share? We’d love to see – just link us up in the comments!

Never really thought about birds with Mother’s Day, but sounds sweet.
Love the birds you showcased!
Love the bird designs, but never associated birds with Mother’s Day.
I have a sweet little “bird nerd” in my family. I created a layout about his love of birds & his imagination here (It called “My Bird Boy” & it is one of a few photos in this blog post so you have to scroll just a bit): http://www.abitofscrappygoodness.blogspot.com/2011/09/for-love-of-twine-new-layouts-and.html
What a cute layout, Melissa. I love that you captured your son’s love for birds as well as his sweet imagination on your layout. Thanks for linking it up!
Thanks for the mention Gretchen. I also love birds and plan to spend hours watching them in my sunset years.
I think bird-theme projects are great for any occasions really. Here is my latest bird project as a thank-you card. http://virginialusblog.blogspot.ca/2012/05/cas-ual-fridays-52.html
