Prettie Hoootin' Wednesday!

It's time for another Prettie Wednesday challenge but today it's a special one - it's Frances's birthday so the hop is going to be *Hooot!!*  LOL!  Be sure to start on Christie's blog so that you don't miss a thing!

This week the Prettie Girls will be showcasing2 sets from Paper PrettiesMake A Wish and Lady Sophia and as usual both sets will be 20% off all week! *hoot hoot!*  Our challenge today, in honor of Frances's birthday, is to use an owl picture as inspiration for our card.  I took it one step further and actually added an owl to my card!  Now I know it's not really reasonable that Sophia would be holding an owl, but work with me! :)

My inspiration was this great print I found - I just love the colors and the cute images.  I used the colors from the print and took the opportunity to use this adorable cloud paper again from My Mind's Eye.  I added a strip of brown cardstock down the right side to mimic the tree in the print.  Lady Sophia is just adorable isn't she?  I added some sparkle to her dress and shoes - she is a princess after all!  The little pink owl was cut out of some Imaginisce Twitterpated dp.

Please be sure to follow the hop around to each of the Prettie Girls! It ends at Frances's blog so that you can leave her some birthday wishes!  Your next stop is Jana's blog!

Frances I hope you have the happiest of birthdays - you share your birthday with my son, Ethan so you're definitely in good company!! Happy Birthday!! :)
