(If you have a Big Lot's by you and you haven't checked them out for paper supplies, GO! It will be worth your time!)

My embellies were from Michae's and my flowers are by Recollections's.

For my DT card for "Sweet Stampin" Chalenge Blog this week as you can see I did not create a card!

I created a journal and decorated the cover. With another covered stick as the binding.

Where I live here on the ranch during the summer time you see the Owls in the trees all of the time. Sometimes I find them sitting in my gardens. I like to think they are enjoying my flowers and veggies but I think they are actually after little critters to eat which is actually great because I can worry less about my gardens.

This week I used Olliver the Owl from "Sew Many Cards". Love him! He is just so cute and can be found at the "Sew Many Cards" Store.

I am entering my Journal in the following challenges.................
Creative Card Crew ~ April Showers Bring Spring Flowers
Digital Tuesdays ~ Anything but a card

So hop on over the "Sweet Stampin" challenge blog and enter in our Summer time theme!

Hope you all have a wonderful crafty week!
