It's time to tickle a teapotter! Gracie is our guest hostess this month and she has challenged us to make a card that represents how we've felt this year with extra cookies if our cards have eyes. My take on 2020 is that we've had time to slow down and focus on what really matters. Which is why I chose this stamp set and wanted to use both of these sentiments. It's going to be owl-right. Owl we need is each other. And I get cookies because this cute owl was perfect for adding googly eyes! I've combined the teapot tickle with Barbara's lovey fall color combo and SC220. I grabbed some DP for the background, but found it a little bit boring, so I added some stenciling and washi tape. Ultimately, I found my card seriously lacking in glitter, so I added some glittery gold stars.

What a cute image and sayings! I love how you jazzed your DP up with stenciling and washi tape too. And of course, the clouds on the orange and glittery stars. . .everything makes this super fun.

Aww! I love how this represents your 2020!! I totally agree. The bright spot in 2020 for me has been the absence of running around all the time! I have enjoyed my family time. I love your googly-eyed owl! I seem to always forget about the cookies! I love how bright and cheerful your card is.

Oh gosh! I love the owl, I have several of the Unity ones, but I've never thought of adding googlie eyes to them. The colours are so bright and happy and upbeat. This is such a fun card.
