OWL & PUSSYCAT WENT TO SEA


I've been having so much fun crafting again.  As many of you know, we've been back in South Carolina now for about 4 weeks from our move from Alaska.  We have a home here that we are renovating.  It's getting too stressful to live here and renovate at the same time, plus my hubby drives 2 1/2 hours a day back and forth to work (combined - not one way) in Georgia.  

So, we finally found an apartment in Georgia and we are moving this weekend..... again.... but it's a good thing.  He won't have that LONG drive anymore.  And I don't have to stress about not having a kitchen sink, dishwasher and unpainted drywall and unfinished floors.  LOL  Good times.  Good times.  

So, if you don't hear from me in a while, be patient.  I may not get back in the groove until early next week after we unpack and get settled.... again..... :)

I altered a writing journal for a couple of challenges going on.  This was fun to make and so super easy.

Here's the before pic and the after again:



  • Background paper from Debbie Mumm Nursery Rhyme
  • Kitty cut from CREATE A CRITTER page 38 cut @ 2"
  • Owl cut from GIVE A HOOT page 28 @ 2" (there is an owl and Kitty in boat cut, but I didn't use that one - didn't even know it was there until I started looking for the owl cut)
  • Boat is actually oval tag in GIVE A HOOT page 74 cut @ 4" and cut in half
  • Pole for sail and sail were cut free hand
  • There is jute / twine on the sailing pole
  • Acetate covering the cream sail (I don't think you can see the shine in this picture)
  • Green lashed googlie eyes!
  • Dark green rhinestones for owl eyes
  • Water boarder from GIVE A HOOT page 76 cut @ 1 1/2" 
  • Everything adhered with Zots Dots Medium, Scotch Photo Splits, Zig 2-Way Glue Pen
This is my submission for the following challenges:
  1. Die Cut Dreams Challenge #57 Acetate
  2. Incy Wincy Designs Challenge #51 Alter Something
Sailing away now to pack.... again......
