This is a 2 day hop and the line up will be different each day.
Please start HERE today (9/22) and tomorrow (9/23),

Heather's first "Well Owl Be" Blog Hop"
in June, went over so well,
it has been decided to do
an OWL themed hop
 4 times a year!

Our next hop will be right before Christmas
and we hope you will come back
and join us then, too!

One grand prize winner ,
will win a Cricut cartridge
and a stamp set
sponsored by Erica's Craft Room!
Thank you, Erica, you are so generous!

Please be a follower 
and leave a comment 
at all of the stops in the hop for the chance to win. 

There will also be other blog candy along the way!

OK, so now that all the details are out of the way,
let's get down to Crafty Business!

For the last hop,
I made an Owl Mixed Media Canvas
as a gift to Heather.

For this hop, I wanted to carry on the "new tradition"
and make another gift for her.

I decided to alter a composition book
with some papers Heather had seen in my stash
during one of her visits to my house.

I used my new Create A Critter 2 cartridge to cut
the Owls out at 4 1/2" each.
I forget the manufacturer of the papers, though.
I used some stamps
from the
K Andrew Designs - Owly Hoo Sentiments set
and Vintage Photo ink.
I used an old hand punch that had
a "leaf" adapter that
fit perfect with the patterned papers.
 I added the twine to finish it off.

The paper has just the right amount
of gloss and glitter
to give the entire
"thought journal"
some extra pizazz.

I triple matted a Journal Tag
and the row of owls
which were
fussy cut from some of the pattern paper.

 I didn't want to leave the back inside cover completely bare.
I adhered a few images from the patterned papers
to thick cardstock then fussy cut around them.
I wanted to put them there so when she
gets to the end of her journal, she
still has a cute owl to peek at.

I hope she likes it,
but HOO am I kidding,
she loves
anything with Owls (LOL)!

I am offering candy here at my blog
to one person who becomes a follower
here as well as at all of the blogs
in the hop.  You must also
leave a comment at each stop, too.

~~~I WILL BE CHECKING~~~

So leave one comment here NOW,
then stop back and leave another comment
to tell me you finished
BOTH DAYS of the hop
and have followed ALL of the blogs
and commented along the way!

I would love to hear which  project
was your favorite along the way, too!!!

Now, because that is a lot of work, I know....
it is for a chance to win this . . . .
