We are on the final countdown to my youngest daughter's birthday, so I have been gathering my owls and making a few cards for her. Note the lack of pink anywhere. After her birthday, I will have two teenaged daughters....Pause a moment to think about that.

I read about a custom button shop on Neat and Tangled a while back, and ordered a set of owl buttons from A Flair for Buttons on Etsy. When I first checked the shop, she seemed to have every pattern under the sun, but no owls. I contacted the shop owner and asked if she had any owls that weren't pink, and she made up a set just for me. Aren't they cute? Sarah is going to be away at basketball camp at Stanford on her birthday, so she will need a lot of cards from home to make her feel special. I think she will really like this one. It features Hawaiian Shores--her favorite PTI color.
This card uses Sarah's favorite owl paper from Jillibean Soup--I think it's my very last scrap.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I just love those cards! The colors are so pretty and those owls are too cute! I bet they will be a huge hit and probably her favorite cards ever! I think they may be my favorites of yours! :)
ReplyDeleteJoyce that owl OOZES cuteness!!!! I just love the big bow behind the owl and the great colors and patterns you chose for the hexagons. And the impression plate looks great on the second :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great owl cards! I'm sure your daughter will appreciate receiving these while away on her b'day!
ReplyDeleteBoth are SO adorable, Joyce--she's going to love them! The owl button is so cute. Love the colors and the mix of patterns in the hexagons. And that impression plate design looks fantastic with the owl paper!
ReplyDeleteLove the owl cards, I think your no pink colour choices are perfect. They are perfect for a 13 year old girl. Very mature yet still really fun.
ReplyDeleteJoyce, these cards are so cute! I love the colors! I am so glad the flair worked out! TFS!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute, Joyce! I laughed at your comment about 2 teenage daughters. I like to think I wasn't that bad but my younger twin sisters...another story!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are so sweet. How fun to add custom made buttons too! Two teenagers in the same house, I remember me and my sister always giving my mom a run for her money, we are 13 months apart and never gave my mom peace.
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome!!! I love the owl with the sunburst!
ReplyDeleteLove your owl birthday cards. I have an anti-pink daughter too! Must try the stamping and then embossing -your sunshine looks fab.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. Love the owl button.
ReplyDeleteYou rocked the hexagons on that first card!! It is fabulous. And the embossing on the 2nd is equally as fabulous. 2 great owl cards, Joyce!!
