WHOO Loves You?

Hi everyone! Just popping in quickly to post my card for the Embellish Magazine Color Challenge with Owls. The colors we had to use where Coral, Brown, and Green.

I used the cute owl images Ashley  provided to us. I paper-pieced the owl and embellished his belly by punching out 1/2" circles of distressed chocolate chip paper. I layered the circles on the belly and trimmed off the excess. I love my owl! I drew the branch out on some Bella Rose designer series paper and cut it out. I made a heart chipboard by glueing 4 hearts together. I stamped a Hero Arts woodgrain stamp on the heart.

This card looks a lot like the one made on Valentine's Day. Thanks for stopping by!

WHOO Loves You?

I made these after seeing a link on How About Orange (I love her blog!) to Better Homes and Gardens. Here's a link to the Whoo Loves You card. There is a down loadable pattern for all the pieces on the card (minus the 3 small hearts). I used some older BasicGrey paper my friend Ericka gave me last year.

Edited to Add: here's another location for the owl template from Scrapbooks, Etc.

Our early dinner plans didn't quite work out today. We arrived at the Cheesecake Factory around 4:30 PM for an early dinner. The lobby was jammed with people...so many people. We didn't even ask how long the wait would be....had to be way over an hour! We shopped at the mall. Took Kalino to the Lego store for the first time. He had a mini meltdown. He wanted the larger Star Wars sets....um...I don't think so. He had a budget of $10 (Grandma & Grandpa set him money for Valentine's Day). We are trying to help him learn the value of a dollar. He finally picked out a cool helicopter....the drama. Oh my!

We decided to our back up dinner plans would be the Falafel Drive In across the freeway from the mall. Yummy! The best falafels!! We ate outside in the cold (we didn't have to, but we didn't mind). That's how good this place is. If you are ever in San Jose, look it up.

Thanks for looking!
