HOOT,HOOT

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  Usually I make one or two cards at a time.  I deided to try to makea few at a time, using one or two paper pads and some Mojo Monday sketches.  For this card I used MOJO sketch 244.  The papers are "Handsome Boy" by MME. The owl is from Paper Doll Dress-up.  I didn't use all of the layers.  The sentiment banner and dies are My Creative Time.  The owl is on an Action Wobble that I got from ROYAL CASTLE SHOPPE.I won a few of these a while ago from Janis at Pause, Dream, Enjoy.(That's why the owl looks a little tipsy)

I GLOVE YOU

No it's not a typo.  I made this tag to go on a pair of gloves.  Are you always looking for new ways to package money?  If you have any fun ideas leave them in a comment.  My daughter's birthday is Sunday, She is having a cash flow problem at the moment.  So I rolled a $20.00 bill into each of the fingers.  Then I made a tag to go with it.  

The tag is made with a My Creative Time Die, the letters and heart are also MCT.  The papers a DCWV.  The threads are from my stash.  I used Paperdoll Dress-up for the gloves
