HAVE AN OWLSOME FALL Y'ALL BLOG HOP! Day One

*****If you are looking for the Getting Cricky "Favorite Things" Blog Hop click HERE.



Welcome to the 
Have An Owlsome Fall Y'all 
Blog Hop!



 We are so happy to have you join us today!  You won't want to miss out on any of these wonderful projects! This is a 2 day hop and the line up will be different each day.  Please start at my blog today (9/22) and tomorrow (9/23), so we can send you in the right direction!

 Our first "Well Owl Be" Blog Hop went over so well, we decided to do an owl themed hop 4 times a year! Our next hop will be right before Christmas and we hope you will come back and join us then, too!

One grand prize winner will win a Cricut cartridge and a stamp set sponsored by Erica's Craft Room! Thank you, Erica, you are so generous! Please be a follower and leave a comment at all of the stops in the hop for the chance to win. There will also be other blog candy along the way!

I am giving one follower that hops all the way through a fun suprise crafty package. I will choose a winner early next week.

I decided to do something different for my project today. Here's what I came up with.


A Halloween owl shadow box! I picked up this frame at goodwill for .35 a while back and took it apart and turned it into a shadow box. I used DCWV Halloween papers and Recollections cardstock  for my project. The adorable little owl was cut with my Create a Critter 2 Cricut cartridge at 3 inches.  The stamp is by Close to My Heart..I got it last year and love it! The Feather flower and purple pom pom ribbon are both by Webster's Pages. The black lace and bat stickers I had in my stash. This was such a fun project to make! I hope you like it! Here's another picture. I think it's gonna look adorable hanging on the wall!




Next you will head over to my Sweet Friend Forever JESSICA'S blog! 

Here is the entire line up in case you get lost along the way.

Hugs,
Heather Lynn
