Owl Grown Up!

I am honored to be part of this Imagine-nation blog hop!  I chose to make a layout using the Cricut Imagine More cartridge in honor of my darling son.  He lost his first tooth and 'Owl Grown Up" seemed fitting.  Also, my darling daughter is working on walking and growing her baby teeth.  They sure are trying to be Owl Grown Up!

I chose the Owl Grown Up on page 6 and selected to print and cut as layers.  Instead of placing the Owl in the center, I placed him flying above.  I also pop dotted his wings for dimension.  

I added an additional Owl and changed the size to place him at the lower corner of the frame. I placed the mat where I will place a picture of my son and his new toothless grin.

I inked the edges in a dark brown ink to give it a bit more pop. The frame was cut from page 22.  I selected the option to cut in layers and deleted all images except the square frame.  Then, I chose the patterned paper on page 42 to flood fill the square frame. 

These were layered and pop dotted on the flag mat from page 29 which I cut to fit the 12x12 page.  To complete the layout, it was placed on a dark brown patterned paper to bring out the dark brown in the layout.  An added knotted ribbon in a beautiful golden yellow adds the right touch.
