Hi, Barbie! This collage makes me smile. The little boy and his doggie with all of those birds crammed into the phone booth is just too much!! The quote is hilarious. TFS xoxo

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Joy ........ I was really trying to come up with a better saying but couldn't. It sure was a fun idea and remember way back when; when collage kids use to see how many people they could cram into a phone booth? 🤣🤣Oh, the good old days where fun like that WAS FUN ....... 💜💙💜

[@sherrybarfield8446]

This is a really clever collage! Fun...Fun...Fun!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Sherry. So happy to have you at my table today, it was fun wasn't it !! xo

[@christinekallaras5131]

Fabulous idea, loved to see your thought processes. Your patience is so good, thanks for opening up some new ideas for me , Chris xx

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you very much, Chris. Yes, patience is the key with collage art and sometimes my patience runs thin. 🤣🤣Not necessarily in the construction but the ideas and finding just the right images. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and thanks for sitting with me today. xo

[@tatteredpaperandlace2905]

OMGosh Barbie this collage is fantastic! I literally laughed out loud when I saw what the saying was. I startled Allen so I had to show him this collage…he loved it. Such a creative mind you have. TFSGF🥰

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

OMGosh ...... that is too funny, Pam! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and were able to laugh at the silliness of it all ........ definitely a fun one. Remember how collage kids use to see how many people they could fit into a phone booth 🤣🤣🤣 good old fashion fun. TFW and big hugs for you today. xo🥰

[@myvagabondstyle]

This is so good Barbie. I love it so much. Those birds have such personality and sass. One of my favorites for sure!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, gf !! This one was so much fun and I'm happy you enjoyed the creation. Yes, lots of sassiness going on in that booth !! Hugs, gf xo 💖

[@csk5654]

Such an amazing collage Barbie! You have an incredible imagination gf. Love it! TYFS Cindy

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Cindy. This was a fun one and so happy you enjoyed it. NOW I have to dig into all the collage soup images ....... now that's going to take some imagination. xoxo 🥰🥰

[@lanakristoff5188]

This reminds me of growing up in a house with five siblings and one landline rotary phone. ☎️ There was always somebody over your shoulder waiting to get their turn on the phone. Being the youngest of the group, I feel like I would be the dog in this one. I really like this collague. ❤😊. Very well done.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Oh, Lana ..... thank you for the most wonderful comment and sharing your past. I can only imagine you home with one landline. I loved our rotary phone and today I have a bright red one in my dining room.............. there is nothing like the sound of an old rotary phone. Your comment regarding my collage is very sweet, thanks again. Hugs to you and have a terrific week. xo 😎❤

[@susangazawaypapercrafting3749]

This is hilarious, Barbie! I absolutely love it!😊❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Susan. I knew you'd get a kick out of this one. So happy you enjoyed and hugs!! 🤗🌼🌿

[@J0yb3ells]

I love this Barbie! What a creative idea. 😊

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Joy. So happy you enjoyed it all and hugs to you each day this coming week. xo 🤗

[@LisaCorneliusJourneys]

It worked! This page definitely put a smile on my face!😀 So clever. So fun. Girl, I'm so glad I did an extra bird collage last week because I have been sick with some kind of flu for over a week! Talking about mojo, I've got to get mine back. Hugs, xoxo

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

OH NO, Lisa ...... I am so sorry to hear that, what a bummer. Thanks for your comment, this was fun to create, just wish I could have come up with a bit better tag line. I hope you feel 100 percent soon and you get your mojo back. Today (Monday) was a no mojo day for me, actually ... I was in a very fowl mood all day. Still am a bit but maybe my mood will pick up later tonight. Sending hugs your way. xo

[@itearpaper]

This is terrific B! Your little story is hysterical! I love it! ❤ I’m running a bit behind myself so no worries 😉 I’ve had a busy weekend with family stuff and tomorrow too. Hopefully I will be free Tuesday to catch up with my projects. 😉

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks for checking in, C ..... by the way; we need to find an A now so we have A - B and C 🤣🤣 I can't wait to see what you come up with. This time of year is hard keeping up with it all. I'm now waiting for those really hot summer days to spend time in the CR with air conditioning or a hot rainy day to create in the CR. You'll get there. I'm on overdrive right now catching up. Hugs, gf and have a great week. xoxo

[@lvan4407]

Great imagination you have that is so cute. I love the birds all trying to squeeze into the phone booth to make a call I hope they have enough dimes or quarters whatever it cost to make up a call these days Love the sayings you put on the picture❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

I agree and I'm so happy you enjoyed the entire process. My hubby wanted me to write something about running out of change and asking for another dime or quarter, but I couldn't think of anything. This sure was fun and thank you for leaving a really great comment. Happy crafting, my friend and have a wonderful week. xo💙

[@linmims3049]

Ohmygoodness, that is so funny! I love it. You truly have a creative mind. Never, ever would I have thought to do something like this. I had to call my husband into my craft room to have a look, he said, "An ode to 'The Birds' movie". And it is, in a funny way. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a blessed and crafty week Barbie!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks Lin ......... another idea for you. Find a good birdbath and pile those birds in there and then put a cherry on top !! 🤣🍒 You're husband was right on track, I was trying to come up with a good saying from 'The Birds' but couldn't. Thank you so much for hanging with me today and have a great week, gf. xo 🥰

[@dorothyradley9391]

A very fun collage, Barbie. I loved how you thought this one out and your patience to get it just right is never ending. Well done on another great collage. Love from England xx

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you so much and Dorothy, your comment arrived just in time seeing it came across the big pond. I miss your landscape so much. I was in England 2x in the 1990's and loved every minute of it. I'm so happy you were able to sit with me today and yes, patience is the key .... some days I have it and other days, not so much! xo

[@MerryScraps]

This just cracks me up! I think it is my favorite so far! It reminds me so much of when they used to see how many people they could stuff in a telephone booth! This is just fabulous & the way you worked them all in there just perfectly is amazing! The bird squawking in the the rafters is the perfect finishing touch!I love it! I hope things calm down for you! I have a van load of stuff to drop off at the thrift store, too. I was going to when we were in town on Friday but the place was so busy, I couldn't get to the drop off box very easily. I was not in the mood to carry stuff from across the road.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Gina! I'm so happy you enjoyed it all and it was so much fun to create. Yes, that bird at the top on the rafters was really talking up a storm. I guess he was warning everyone that Bentley was on his way to try and get into that phone booth. 🤣🤣I feel so much lighter after getting rid of those 8 bags of clothes. I LOVE doing that.........but I'd never consider touching my craft closet ........NO WAY !! 🛑

[@myshlmestan9951]

So creative!! Love it! ❤❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you! 😊

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks Maryann! 🥰

[@sandyjuliano-cy9rf]

Adorable!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you so much, Sandy and it was wonderful you were able to take the time to watch. xo

[@karenbrown5174]

How did you even come up with this? It is so clever and I couldn’t stop laughing. I am not a patient person and there is no way I could fussy cut all those birds. Perhaps that is one of the reasons I appreciated it so much. Collage soup just came out with a new book called Bird Nerds- wonderful quirky imagery. Thank you for your inspiration.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Did you say Bird Nerd, Karen .......... It's already in my checkout basket and will grab that next week. I can't wait to play with that one. Yes, fussy cutting can be tough but I LOVE it ...... I find it very relaxing. I'm so happy you enjoyed this collage and thank you so much for hanging with me at my craft table. Not sure I could have pulled it off if you hadn't been there with me. xo

[@karenbrown5174]

Megan Quinlan posted a video several days ago showing Bird Nerd

[@DeniseLush]

so cute!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks so much, Denise. This was light and fun! xo

[@mandycoleman3206]

Absolutely great idea 😂

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Mandy. It was so much fun to make for everyone. Have a great day. xo 💖

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Shay, what the heck did you do? OH NOOOO .... what is it with our feet. I am so sorry you are down and out and I do hope your little sausages are calming down a bit. I hope it's not broke but you should get it checked out. I agree....getting old is for the birds ....... the heck with these collages. 🤪😝 keep me posted on your progress. xo

[@amyb82941]

💜💜💜 this one came out really cute! I wish my head worked like this but I struggle. 🤯

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Amy ........ take my ideas, that's what I'm hear for. Gotta think crazy and I'm really good at that ......... most of the time. 🤣🤣

[@christine0nowell757]

This is quite unique, love it ❤. Would send pictures for you but not sure of your email, as previous ones didn't go for some reason. Anyway, thankyou for this, it's a great picture. Xxx

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Christine, my email is [e-mail] .... try again. I'd love to see what you are up to. Thanks so much for hanging with me and have a great day. Make sure you email me ......... xo

[@sandyvaughn59]

It’s a shame that you didn’t zoom out because we couldn’t see the full collage. And it looked like it was going to be awesome

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Hmm, that's odd. I went back to check at my end, and I could see the entire collage, Sandy. I wonder what happened at your end. 🤔 check again, and if you don't see it, I'll show it again in one of my upcoming videos for you. Golly, gosh, please let me know. 💖 xo

[@sandyvaughn59]

I went back to look again and yes you are right. I see it perfectly now. Have no idea what happened. Thank you so much. I absolutely love the bird videos.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

@sandyvaughn2501 Oh, that's great, Sandy 👍🏻 xo
