Owl Always Love You

Our dog wishes she could do this with a kitty!!

Hi, Friends.....

I am back with a quick card for a second entry into the MFP Speedy TV Simple Salutations Challenge.  The theme this week is to base your card on your favorite subject in school.  

As I mentioned in my last weird post, I majored in biology.....way back in the dark ages!!  My hubby did, too, and that's where we met.  <3 <3 <3  We had a lot of classes together, but some of the best ones were our field classes.  

Owl calling in Ornithology still ranks as one of our fondest school memories.....where our class would go out in the late evening to view owls by playing recordings of owl calls to attract them over to us.  Currently, we live in a place where a huge and rather rare species of owl, the Great Gray Owl, is quite common. We love seeing them.
 
Since owls hold such a special place in our hearts, I decided to make a sweet little owl card to send to hubby while he is away on an extended work trip.  I want him to know I miss him and that I appreciate how hard he works.

I wanted to keep this super simple and unadorned.  Face it, most guys just don't really care much about cards...and especially are not interested in fluff.  I liked the DCWV plaid background paper, though, and I hope it doesn't look too girly. 

My owl stamp is from the dollar rack at JoAnns and the I Love You is from Lil Inker - Rainbows and Clouds Sentiments.  They are both stamped in Distress Ink - Broken China and not even heat embossed.  I rounded all the corners and put the sentiment up on foam.  How's that for simple?   I think he will like this card. 

Oh, my goodness....I have been the very lucky random winner in some challenges lately!  You can see my latest badges in my sidebar.  I just love those badges and I hadn't had any new ones for a long time!!  Thanks so much, Vandicrafts and My Craft Creations!  

And, as always, a HUGE THANKS to MFP!! You are my go-to, one-stop blog for the most wonderful challenges everyday!!! 

Hope you liked my card and enjoyed hearing about owls. Hoo wouldn't? ;)
