Chloe's presents and card

Hello! It's hard to believe, but my little granddaughter is almost two years old! Her mommy is planning a birthday party later this month and the theme is "owls". Chloe just LOVES owls - and I'm starting to too! They are everywhere in the crafting world - just check out owls on Pinterest! So I've been collecting "owl" things and files for months now, knowing she loves owls. So here is a little tshirt I embroidered using embroidery files I purchased on etsy here.

 Then I made what is now the most favorite card I've ever made - and I've made ALOT! I think it's because so much love went into this card. As I said, I've been collecting "owl" things and files for a while. I saw this awesome tri-fold card on Pinterest and decided to use that format for my card. All the owls on the card are files I bought in the online Silhouette store. I did a "print and cut" of them using my Silhouette Cameo. I was going to cut out each piece individually and piece each owl together, but the thought of that seemed overwhelming, given the size of the owls. Overall, I'm happy with how the print and cut did. The patterned paper is Papertrey, the #2 is Papertrey By the Numbers and By the Numbers Mats, and the Little Labels and stamped images are all from Papertrey. I added some rhinestones and glitter for the "bling" factor. I can't wait for her to see it. She may not appreciate all the work that went into it now, but her mama saves all the cards I make her, and one day when she is older, she will be able to look through them and see all the love I put into them. :)

 This is the card front.

 The card laid flat.

I will write our message on the back of the card since the front is already full to the brim! I'm also going to make a family of stuffed owls - a mommy, daddy, two little girls and a big brother. I'll post pictures of them when they are done. Hope you enjoyed looking at these gifts of love. :)
