Ally has given us a great sketch this week at SC659 challenge.
I just love this Strange Bird and this sentiment. When I saw this kit from Unity Stamp Co. I just had to have it. My daughter recently told me she was weird in Elementary school. She was always on the quiet side but had loads of personality! She would take a shirt and make it all new with ribbons and bits of lace and wear it proudly to school! Well, if being Awesome needs a dose of weird, so be it! How boring our world would be if we were all the same!
If anyone ever called you weird this sentiment is for you! It's just a side effect of being AWESOME!!!
I am playing along with Unity's FB inspiration challenge to use a kraft base and twine.

So true, Angie! Love your crossed panels and that "weird" bird. Love how you colored his hat to match the papers! Congratulations to your daughter for having the courage to be herself!

LOL Ang, I love your write-up. I aspire to be weird every day hehehe. Now about your card and photograph. Wow, wow, wow. Where do I start, the layout is fabulous and your owl looks so happy in his matching hat! You take your cards to a whole new level of awesomeness with your photography Angie.

I have to agree, your card is magnificent! Colors are wonderful and it's a card that will give a lift to the receiver--as well as the observer, like me.
