A Bug-Eyed Hooty Owl...Yeah, That's What I Said!

I have had so much fun the past few days

creating in my little art space.

I am this week's color host over at

The Play Date Cafe.

I rarely have ANY idea what I am going

to make when I choose my color inspiration photos.

This week was no exception, but I can tell you that

I had something much more elegant in mind

than what I came up with....here's why....

Look at this fabulously elegant inspiration

from marthastewartweddings.com

Now look at the whimsy that followed...

Now granted, the senior designers typically

choose the 'color stories' up to 3 months in

advance, but I can assure you I had no idea that

I would go in THIS direction.

Isn't that the great thing about challenges, though?

I used a wonderful new punch from EK Success.

This 'starburst' is punched directly into the

lime green cardstock.  The stamp is from 

Studio G's 'I Cling' series.  The DP is from

DCWV's 'Latte' matstack.

I paper-pieced the polka dot DP to the

'Bug-Eyed Hooty Owl'.

Now it's time for you to skeedaddle over

to The Play Date Cafe.  You are not going

to believe this week's DIVERSE collection

of projects using these fantabulous colors!
