Owl Grad

img_0325

This is a last minute entry for the Caardvarks tree-themed card challenge.  I had some leftover papers from the Dollar Spot paper pack that had some trees!!!  My sister is graduating from college next month and thought an owl would be fitting!

I have a bad habit of not finishing the inside of the card and figure I’d get to it later.  Most often it does not happen.  So my new goal is to make sure the inside is done as well.

Patterned Paper: Dollar Spot Fall Scrapbook paper pack

Stamps: The Paper Company Studio (Whimsical Birds), Studio G (grad cap)

    oh how cool! WHOOOOOOOOOO would not like to receive this fab card??! what a great use of the tree paper, and i LOVE the graduate owl!

    (ps: you are sooooooo inspiring me to finish my card insides IMMEDIATELY…i tend to leave them “till later” also…& sadly they often just get written in & sent. but let’s call this A PACT & we shall *both* be reformed characters, eh?!) 🙂

      Haha… I know it is such a bad habit and I feel like the inside gets neglected! It should be pretty too, right? Consider this pact stamped in ink and sealed with embossing powder!
