Hi all!
Another Wednesday brought to you by the fabulous Whimsy Haven DT blog hop! :)
If you came here from Julie's blog, you're right on track! Welcome! If not, no worries - head back to the Whimsy Haven blog and start all over. Be sure to leave a comment at each stop along the way - you never know... you might a cute little digi image! :)
Here's my card for the hop:
Ok, take a good look - what's WRONG with my card?! My DP is UPSIDE DOWN! *lol* I can't believe I did that! Actually, I can - I've been so tired lately - long nights doing projects, and my DS waking up in the middle of the night with nosebleeds! :( Poor little guy! Anyway, I didn't realize I had the DP upside down until I went to take a picture! Silly me!
My blog hop card features the cute little As If Owl! Cute right? I looked in my stash for some cute little animal print paper and came up with this DP I've been hoarding from Sassafrass Lass! (OMG I still can't get over how I have the paper upside down! *lol*)... Everything else is kept simple - the sentiment is from the Chat Room Rub Ons from SU!.
I have a 2nd card today as well...
Whimsy Haven is sponsoring this week's sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You! Super fun! I kept my card super simple and used the balloon image from the Birthday Star set. I had planned to use one of the sentiments as well but instead used the American Crafts ribbon I had that matched my DP. :)
Hope you get a chance to play along with this sketch this week! Good Luck!
Thanks for visiting today! Your next stop on the blog hop is JENNY!!!
That's so funny. I didn't even notice the paper was upside down because you did such an amazing job with the coloring on the owl. LOL!! Funny though. I LOVE the colors on the bday card. The whole card just screams HAPPY to me.

the upside down pp works perfectly with the cute owl! It's so fun and colorful! Wonderful cards!

I think the fact that it is upside down is fantastic! Maybe you can use that idea more often. It provided great contrast to the owl. You know what? It would be even better with a possum or a bat since they hang upside down anyway (as well as some butterflies). So don't worry! It's still darling.

I think the sentiment goes perfectly with the upside-down paper! It's just serendipity! :-)

Turn the card upside down. Don't owls sleep that way...wait... no, bats do...never mind... lol
