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.

Just an outstanding design, Angie, and I so love your daughter's comment : )
You've colored that fun owl to perfection and as others have said, matched his winter hat perfectly to the striped elements; great job with this unusual sketch!

This is so absolutely fabulous, Angie! I love the colors in those stripes and how you used the colors for the owl's hat. Fun sentiment. My grandmother told me once that when I was in kindergarten I told her "I'm not like the other kids, Gram. They'll never understand me." She said it made her sad, but I was never sad about marching to beat of my own drum

I have to agree with you - we are all unique. A wonderful sentiment with a message and a fun, cute owl! I love that his hat matches your striped diagonals. Adorable card.
