Whimsical Wishes!

Hello everyone!!

First up I would like to say thank you to everyone who helped make my birthday so special over the past couple of days. It is one I will remember for a long long time!

Now I know that being an owl lover myself, I have a lot of people who follow my blog for this reason, as I often make owl cards. Well over the last few days owl cards have been everywhere and I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on any of them.

My CCEE Stamper friends surprised me for the challenge we all do on Mondays with all their cards/scraplings being created using owls and you can see them here.

And then if that wasn't enough excitement already the Paper Pretties Design Team surprised my with a birthday blog hop that had an owl twist. If you would like to see those cards you will need to follow along with the hop which starts here.

Now onto my card for today which is for this week's sketch challenge over on SCS. Of course I had to use one of my new stamp sets that I received for my birthday and after seeing the sketch I decided to go with this "Forest Frenzy" set by CHF that I received yesterday morning by my "Prettie Girl" friend Danielle. I also used one of my new DCWV stack pads I got this week, this I used here the Green Stack which I just love!

Surprise, surprise I actually used kraft card for this card without having to use it cause it is a challenge hehe! It seemed to work well with the colors on the designer paper. I also used two of the sizzix texture templates to add texture to both kraft pieces.
