Our new challenge theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by Wendy and she wants to see OWLS!

I dug out this retired stamp set and had a wee play.

I used stitched with whimsy dies to create the white square

for my owl. The back mat is a retired colour which I ran through

the exposed brick embossing folder with a little big of crumb cake

ink rubbed on the flatter side.

The  sentiment was stamped onto same card. I coloured

the owl using blends and finished with a little

gingham bow.

Hats on at Tag Tuesday

Can you believe it is MAY already!!

We have our Grandson Tom's First Communion next Saturday

and then I have my daughter-in-law's birthday and then my

sister's and my own birthday at the end of May.

Then thankfully, we have booked a few days away in

Westport, County Mayo. Soooo looking forward to a wee break.

When we come back we have my husband's nephew's wedding

and then hopefully a break from celebrations until September

when we have yet another wedding!!

Our new theme over at

TAG TUESAY

has been chosen by Michele and she wants to see

hats!

I don't have many stamps with hats so went back to my

Adorable Owls set as this one has a party hat on!

I had this strip of pastel clouds left over and it

was the perfect size for my little owl.

I stamped some branches and leaves using

Sweet Songbirds, then stamped

him, coloured him and cut him out.

The sentiment was stamped and I finished it

off with a piece of stapled ribbon.

Happy Birthday Blooms

I have another card made for one of my gift wallets.

Today I followed the lovely sketch at

I added some dry embossing to either side of my panel

and the papers are the retired ones from December.

I finished off the inside too with a strip of matching

paper and sentiment.

chosen by Sandie,

over at TAG TUESDAY.

I have used the cute stamp set

Adorable Owls for my tag.

He has been colour using blends, and I gave him
