Hello to a new week! I'm here with not one but three cards for the current Sketchbook Saturday challenge. A customer asked for three bright Thinking of You cards with owls on them. I pulled out my Dear Lizzy 6x6 and my favourite Paper Smooches owl and got to work! I was trying to remember the rules from that card making class about mixing and matching papers. It's something I do very rarely so I'm not sure if I totally have the hang of it yet but I had fun going very non-CAS! I'm also going to enter these cards in the Anything Goes challenges at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge and the Paper Smooches Sparks challenge.
What started out as a dark, rainy and thundery day has turned into an absolutely gorgeous, sunny evening. The weather has been all over the map these last couple of months and for the first time in years we are ahead of the normal annual rainfall amount. It has saved us plenty of money since we haven't had to buy water but I think we've spent the same amount in gas trying to keep up with the grass growth! No complaints though - I'll take having to mow the lawn every week over crunchy, brown grass any day. :)

Three happy, cheery cards! You combined the patterned papers perfectly Jen.
Whoooo says these are are a hoot, Jen? ME! Love the mix of papers with one of my fav PS characters. These will bring a smile to the biggest grump you can find. Love!
I'm an owl lover and a pattern paper mixer and I say these cards rate an A+, Jen.
They are all just super! I really like the way you've mixed the papers.
Oh, my, these cards ROCK! I adore both but the second one sings to me...LOVE those patterned papers!

Of course, I love these. Those owls are just adorable, and great job with the patterned papers.

They will definitely brighten someone's day - that chunky owl is smile-worthy on his own - but your fun and bright patterns are the perfect touch!

I'll agree with everyone that the mix of patterned papers is terrific! And the polka dot owl is my favourite. :D
