"HOO"s having a birthday?

Challenges have been asking for owls in projects lately, so I made a card but first, take a look at the pic my mother took this spring near their cottage...

How cool is that??  She said he just sat there, posing nicely. :)

Now, for my owl.  This is a birthday card for 3 challenges...
~Birthday Sundaes - ribbon (and birthday wording, as always)
~Opus Gluei - owl
~Tacky Tuesday - owl and "hoo"

~4x9 Kraft paper card
~owl from Sentimentals at 3 1/2"
~"HOO" from AK (it is really 'whooo' but I trimmed it)
~I computer generated the rest of the sentiment
~MS ribbon
~Recollections 'Charming' DSP
~pop dots and gel pen for doodling

"fishy" note card

I love to do challenges and do as many as I can.  If I don't do a challenge, it is because I don't have time.  With some of them, I know immediately what to do for it.  For others, I have to think awhile.  I trying to say that when I don't do one of my 'normal' challenges, it is not because I don't want to do it.  All that, to say this... when I read that Opus Gluei wants no words...  ??!!???  I was speechless!  Really???  How am I supposed to make a card without a sentiment?????

Well, I did it!!  I went looking through my digital stamps and this colored fish digi from Doodle Pantry just jumped out at me because it perfectly matched the colors of DCWV Tahiti Beach stack that I've been using.  The lashes and lips make her look like a girl, so I figured flowers are ok.  My circle and scalloped punches, ribbon, a little bling and we are in business!

So what do you think?   All it needs is a sentiment, right?  Just kidding!!! ;-)

Thanks for looking!!!

'so sweet' ice cream card

We love ice cream all year long but especially in the heat of summer!!  FYI... my fave is 'Death by Chocolate' made by Stewart's here in NY!!  :-)

I'll use this card for a note card, a thank you card, or a birthday card... whichever I need.  I did not get it photographed while the sun was still up so the color isn't quite perfect, but you get the idea.

This one if for 2 challenges:
Bitten by the Bug 2 - ice cream
Opus Gluei - "beat the heat"

~ice cream cone from ACY cut at 5"
~DCWV Sweet Stack paper
~DCWV Hippie Chic cardstock
~scallop, swirl, and 'so sweet' stamps are MME 'fine & dandy'
~'Diamonds in the rough' and 'Swiss dots' embossing folders
~The Paper Studio brad
~American Crafts ribbon
