Winter hello

Happy January 1st!!  It's time for a new challenge on the Critter Crazy Challenge blog!  As always, it is a month long challenge: Anything Goes as long as you feature a creature.  Here is my card for your inspiration:

I have a little basket with several sample commercial Christmas cards and cards we received in the mail last Christmas that were just too pretty to throw away.  So, I've slowly been working on upcycling them into new cards to send.  This sweet owl was on one of the sample cards and I thought he would make a wonderful winter card.  So, I die cut the image with a stitched rectangle die, tied some ribbon around it, added a punched tag with a winter greeting and three die cut snowflakes before adhering it to the card base.  Nice and simple, and pretty quick, too!

Thanks for stopping by!  Hop on over to the Critter Crazy blog and check out the details and the rest of the projects from the Design Team.
