I love the theme for this month being all about love. I discovered this adorable product line by ADORNit. Owls have been so hot and popular this year.

I work full time and my husband works away from home 4 days a week.  I have two boys under the age of 5.  So when I think scrapbooking I think quick, time savers that look sharp.  So when a company puts together a product line that matches, I go nuts!!!  You'll see how quick and easy this double layout goes together.

I selected to use the Owl Hoot A and cut it into two separate pieces.  I used my Provo Craft 12 inch trimmer a good bit.  After I selected my pictures I chose which elements out of the Owl kit I wanted to use.  I had 3 sheets of designer paper, 3 sheets of Bazzill card stock. a sheet of card stock stickers, and 12 inches of matching ribbon.

I used my Glue Glilder Pro for my adhesive to adhere my ribbon, pictures and paper.

I used s.e.i brads and the ADORNit Owl ribbon to accent along with the coordinating stickers.

I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope you were able to see how with so few products you can create wonderful, fun layouts.  I only invested about $9.00 into these products and I was able to get another double page layout out of the kit.  PLUS I still have enough left over to do another 1 page layout or create a card with the scraps.

Supplies: Double Sided Patterned Paper or Cardstock measuring at least 6" x 12", 3 brads, paper piercer, strong adhesive and a trimmer.

1. Cut your 7"x 12" cardstock into  (8) 1"x6" strips, next cut (4) 1'' x5'' strips, then cut (1) strip 1''x4'' all together you should have 13 strips.

2. Add adhesive to the end of each strip A sided facing up (this is the side of the paper you want to be your design) then  wrap the (8) 1' x6" and (4) 1''x 5" strips as shown in the picture below.

3.Wrap the (1) 1"x4" strips as shown in the picture below.

4. Next, using your paper piercer punch a hole in  the wrapped strips then using a brad attach the petal together it should like this.

5. Now we are ready to assemble the pieces, place a glue dot in the center of each layer then stack each layer make sure you alternate the layer as you go.

Now you have a finished bow, that will add a a personalized touch to you gift giving this year.

My Thoughts

I think every scrapper would agree with me when I say that this darling collection  by Cosmo Cricket it just adorable. I  have fallen in love  with all the fall colors, the wood grain papers, and the little critters are just too cute.  I am a huge fan of double side  pattern papers with fun colors so this line was prefect for all my Fall creations, the font of the Alphabet is fun and squiggly: love it! Was there anything I can honestly say I didn't like about this collection? NO !!

This is a cute card I made for my sister who's having a baby. In my family we call our children chick a dees so this die cut from the Cosmo element sheet was perfect.  To give the little chick some shine I added  a thin coat of  paper glaze.
