When I saw this darling card by Marion Vagg for the Muse #71 Challenge, I knew exactly what I would make for my daughter's 15th birthday tomorrow. She is nuts about owls, and I loved Marion's card so much, I didn't change much at all.
Here is my card. I made a hand drawn frame--never done that before, and then paper pieced the owl and branch from Paper Smooches Hooties. I'll also link this up at Paper Smooches Anything Goes Challenge.
I'll bet you are surprised not to see a card for the PTI blog hop. I have been so busy and just did not have time to make anything. And, the little crafting time I had yesterday was spent making these two cards for a 5 year old boy who is gravely ill. His big wish is to get a lot of birthday cards with is name on them. His birthday cards from me will be late, as his birthday is today, but I imagine he will still be happy to receive birthday mail. Here is a link to his story, if you would like to read more and perhaps send him a card, too.
Thanks for Visiting
I'm sure Danny will absolutely love your cards. So heartfelt and absolutely perfect.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet of you to make the cards for Danny. They are all adorable and I know he will love them.
ReplyDeleteThat owl was made for you . Darling card ! Happy birthday to your daughter.... they are growing up!!!!
Hey Joyce!! Your owl is so cute. Your daughter will love it. The cards for Danny are super duper cute too. I love the textured balloons. Awesome job.
ReplyDeleteI thought of paper piecing an owl for the challenge but since I'm not much of a fussy cutter, I went with a watercolored one. I love yours and if your daughter loves owls as much and I do, she'll be squealing with delight over the card.
ReplyDeleteYour paper pieced owl is ADORABLE!! So thoughtful of you to make the cards for little Danny, he will adore them!
ReplyDeleteAll the cards are cute Joyce. HB to your daughter. I need to get a card made for Danny which I saw on Yahoo.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your daughter! What a perfect card for her. That owl is adorable. I am surprised to see you aren't part of the Blog Hop but totally understand....glad you had a chance to put a smile on Danny's face with these two fab and happy cards. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, I love the cards you made for Danny...even more so because you sacrificed playing along with PTI's hop to create them. I need to check out his story...I have a feeling I'll need tissues, though...I'm already feeling a bit emotional today. And your paper-pieced owl is too cute. I can't believe how many patterns you mixed and how awesome they all look together.
ReplyDeleteI AM surprised to not find a blog hop card, but I love your cards anyway! I bet your daughter adores that cute owl! The cards for Danny are lovely. I was thinking I'd make him a card, but coming from Australia, I might make it a general card rather than birthday, unless it's for next year... lol!
ReplyDeleteLove the pop of the dp on the white card base! So glad you joined us at Muse this week, Joyce!
ReplyDeleteSaw your gorgeous card over at Muse.... Love the paper piecing, reminds me of a favourite teddy from my childhood :)
ReplyDeleteDanny's cards are adorable! You're so sweet to make them and I know he'll love them. The owl of course couldn't be more appropriate--LOVE your card! Hope she had a fabulous birthday!

ReplyDeleteHa, I thought of you when I saw Marion's owl at Muse, Joyce ... Happy Birthday to your daughter ... bet she loved this paper pieced cutie! Sweet cards for Danny ... I'm sure he'll be so happy to get them! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSo well done!! Love that paper pieced owl card - So darn cute!! And the two birthday cards for Danny will be loved and bring a smile to his face, I already sent mine, hopefully he has received it by now!!
