I am entering this at Fantabulous Cricut: #62 Remember This. This birthday party is extra special because my sister (Lisa) is here with her baby visiting from Ireland. This is the first time she has been here for our dad's birthday in more than a decade. The three little owls are doubly symbolic; there are 3 children in our family (me, Nate & Lisa) and 3 grandchildren at the party (my twin girls and Lisa's baby). I used my Cricut (Sweet Treats cartridge) to make the party hats.
I am also entering my card at Birthday Sundaes: #11 Masculine Birthday. (Thanks for letting me know about this challenge blog, Amber!)
Supplies:
Cricut cartridge: Sweet Treats (birthday party hats)
Paper: Core'dinations card stock, kraft (base & owl eyes), and SU whisper white (cake & owl eyes)
Embossing folders: Tim Holtz (tree); SU Petals-A-Plenty; Houndstooth and Oriental Weave by Provo Craft
Owl punch & Oval punch: SU!
Stamps: Flourishes
Sentiment: EAD rub-on
