Whoo Loves You???

Hi, everyone!

Happy Sunday to you all! I hope your weekend has been a bright, sunny warm weekend like mine! It's been gorgeous here, so I threw open my windows, cranked my tunes and finished putting together this layout.

My intention for the pictures is to make them circles, so the pretty doily cuts can still be seen on the mats.  I used the Cricut cartridge, Cindy Loo, for my paper piecings and die-cuts. This page took a long time to cut everything because I slowed my cutting speed down to 2. I wanted to make sure all those intricate cuts worked out the first time! lol!

I added some heart-shaped rhinestones to my borders. My owl and letters are on pop-dots.

I used my white gel pen in the eyes, to add the "glimmer" in the eye. I embossed the top owl layer with a Cuttlebug folder, Textile. I lined it up so the swirls of the embossing folder would match up with where I was placing the purple accents.

I used an EK Success border punch for the bracket edge, and the circle shapes are the negative cuts from the top tree layer, I have a Sizzlit Strip that I used for my letters. The circles are popped up on pop-dots.

This was a fun page to put together, and I am anxious to put the pictures on. (They are being mailed to me from my sister). Once I do, I may re-post this to show you how it looks completely finished. :)

Thanks so much for flying by today! I hope you enjoy what you see here!

Hi, everyone! This is my second post today - I also did a challenge card post (scroll down) this morning. I've been a very busy girl.......or maybe it is just my way of dealing with the anxiousness of waiting for my new craft furniture!! Yay! I FINALLY am going to have a "real" desk and table! I've been working on plastic folding tables that aren't even, have texture to them, and aren't very stable for a very long time! Anyhow, my dh took me shopping on Saturday, and I found something I love! It is scheduled to be delivered today. I will post some photos once it is set up! :0)
In the meantime, I'll keep busy with my cards today. Here's one I made (again, still using things I worked on at the beach!) that uses the SU Owl Punch. I do not have this punch, but my friend brought it along on the beach trip with her. I used some old, old, OLD Sizzix paper packs to punch three different colors of the owl, then I mixed up the pieces to put these together. The sentiment is something I made in PSE.  Hope you like! I love the owls so much, I'm going toplace an order for the punch today! :0)
