She’s A Hoot

Part of my job as a design team member over at Practical Scrappers is using products from our monthly sponsors to show others how they can be used in projects.  This month the sponsor is Digi Doodle Stamps (digital stamps), and I chose this owl on a branch (it’s called Hoot Owl) because when I saw it the title I used immediately popped into my head.  I knew I wanted to pair it with a goofy photo of my daughter, and it wasn’t too hard to find one.  ha ha! 

When she saw me working on this, she came over and said “What am I doing in that picture?”  (She was only 3 years old so she doesn’t remember) and I said, “just being silly.”  And she was like, “But I don’t have any clothes on!” and I said, “Well, you’re wearing rain boots!”  I forgot to mention I would be showing this on the blog.  Maybe I’ll just keep that tidbit of information between you and me…..

See how I used Stickles to make his pretty eyes sparkly?

(I learned today that Stickles might make your ink run just a bit…perhaps it wasn’t dry enough…but I’m just gonna pretend I don’t see it)

For the word HOOT, I had glued 2 little googly eyes onto the O’s to make them look like eyeballs, but Summer came up with what I thought was a great idea so I did it her way.  I took the googly eyes off and then colored the inside of the O’s with yellow marker and drew a little nose under them so that it looks like the owl’s face from the stamp. 

I honestly can’t decide if I like it or not (and it’s just TOO BAD now, right? ha ha).  What do you guys think?  Is it weird looking?  Or is it cute?  Opinions please!
