Artwork for Chloe's Room

I recieved this as a gift for my shower and thought it was very cute and personal.

It was given to me on regular canvas and I just added the frame to give it a stronger pressence on the white of the walls.  The top left is her weight. below that is the time she was born on a broken clock face.  The bottom left is her height.  Second from left is just decoratrive.  Below that is her foot print and then a decorative spoon.  Third from the left up top is an envelope for her first haircut.  Her intials are below that.  The bottom contains the date she was born and everything on the far right is decorative.  I am going to post up close pics below. 

           

          

Owls for Christmas

I'm so in love with all the new cute Owl stuff so when I came accross this link http://moonstitches.typepad.com/moonstitches/2007/11/zakka-style-owl.html I decided to adapt the craft to paper.  Using only materials I found here in my desk at work and the templates from the Moonstiches blog I made these cute owls.

I thought they would be cute stringed together as garland or even add letters to each owl to make the words Merry Christmas. 

Step 1

I printed off a few different Christmas patterns onto some cardstock

Step 2

I cut out the body of the owl it's basically a leaf shape

Step 3

 I cut out the design for his tummy, it's shapped like and iron

Step 4

 I pasted the iron ontop of the leaf

Step 5

I folded the top of the leaf down to about half way on the iron

Step 6

 I cut out eyes, ears, and feet.  For the eyes small circles, and for the feet an ears triangles.

Step 7

I pasted the eyes and feet to the front of the owl and the ears to the back of the owl giving me the final project.
