Good Sunday morning and happy first day of November. In amongst the cute little trick or treaters we had last night, I made this card for the Embellish owl colour challenge. I have no owl images but Ashley and company were thinking ahead and posted an owl image for owl-less cardmakers like me. I spent most of the day thinking about owl sayings...even googled them. But everything was the same old thing..."you're a hoot," "Whoo loves you..." etc., etc. I wanted something a little different. But all I could come up with is "Thank-whoo." I went outside with the clippers to get a few little branches off a bush in the front yard. The branch with the ribbon is my favourite part :) Three little buttons for a little something on the sentiment and that was that. So this is my first owl card!! I hope you like it and I hope you have a wonderful day:) Thanks for popping by! (uh, I just thought of a saying!! "I love whoo you are." Rats! Maybe next time! LOL)

Whoo's a clever crafter eh?! I LOVE your sentiment and the idea to incorporate that branch is fab - it's so cute with the ribbon tied around it!
Totally adorable!

Maureen, I must say this is the most adorable card you've made to date. Don't get me wrong all your cards are beautiful but this is uber cute.
Oh my goodness, this card is absolutely adorable! I love the paper patchwork, the buttons and the twig with ribbon is perfect!
Side note: LOVE LOVE LOVE the name of your blog!
All right. How adorable is this card?! I love the little branch you created for him to sit on. Brilliant!
I had a great Halloween last night. My roommate and I joined some girlfriends at Disneyland. They decorate the park for Halloween now, so it was really fall-festive. They even had a special "spook-tacular" fireworks show. And all the little kids dressed up in their costumes were adorable. Hope you had a great evening as well!
Maureen,
What a cute saying! I am loving the owl. The heart border is actually a punch from Fiskars.
