The Great Horned Owl

Hooting in the Tree

This is a card I made last night. A friend of mine and I set challenges for each other every now and then and last night the card was to be a Nature themed clean and simple. There is a Great Horned Owl that frequents a HUGE tree in a neighbors yard but usually after dark...so I dedicate this card to the Great Horned Owl that I heard hooting in the tree around 7:30 last night. I was so excited because it was still daylight out so I ran to my window to have a look. Unfortunately, the only thing I spotted was it's tail feathers moving as it hooted. However, there were scores of Robins standing around "yelling" at the owl. Obviously protecting their nests. When the owl flew away (large wing span I might add), the Robins attacked aggressively as it continued to fly away. Someday I will get a good picture of it...

I Love You Puffy

Happy FWF FRIDAY!!

I can't believe that it's already Friday again.  Colorado has taken much of a winter hit for Spring this year and our May 1st was greeted with so much snow.  By the time the snow stopped, we had over 20 inches on the ground.  My dogs LOVE the snow.

 

 When the snow started, it was WET and very very heavy.  Many tree branches in town were lost.  Luckily the neighbors trees didn't break...but they sure came close.

 Anyway...Now on to my project.

I finally got the chance to play with the cute little panda in the April KOM.  He is so adorable.  My son, who is in the Navy and currently on his way towards North Korea :( absolutely loves Penguins and Pandas.  So this card is going in the mail tomorrow for him.  He will be out in the ocean for 10 months.  So I'm sure this will make him smile.

SUPPLIES:
Stamps:  Unity April 2013 KOM

Other supplies:  Asian paper (I don't remember the maker), Fruit Punch and Christmas Red Stickles, Purple Glaze Gel Pen, Asian luck token, Offray ribbon

Techniques:  I made the panda's face, flower, and the glitter heart puffy by using a large ball stylus that I "learned" from Debby (Design Team Member from Simon Says Stamp)  I love love love her creations....
So hence the title "I Puffy "Heart" You"  :)
