Challenge #114. Owl always love you.

Electra here -  Are you exhausted from all that Dancing With The Poobahs?  I know I am.
This week, we'll be a little more sedate and visit the world of OWLS.
For some reason Autumn always makes me think of owls, I don't know why.
But thinking of Owls, I made a few ATC's:

Why the "Always Love You" part?  I have no idea.  I think the reason is when I see the leaves starting to change colour, I think of school buses, and I think of when my girl was little and went to elementary school and I think of how adorable she was and I think of how much I love her....

And no, I don't have ADHD.

So Whoo do you love in your Owl world?

Let's see what all the other wonderful poobahs have come up with for this challenge.

Rosemary  - here and I love the idea of an Owl challenge - WHO wouldn't?  (heh heh, sorry, couldn't resist).  There's all sorts of owl embellishments, die cuts, stickers, etc.  I decided I was going to do something with floss and fabric...soooo.....

I found this adorable spooky owl pattern from The Prairie Schooler and easy peasy - a cross-stitch ornament perfect for decorating a doorknob, wreath, or bare tree branch (oooh, the possibilities).  Wonderfully fun to do and I hope you enjoy looking at it!

  


 Jana here -  Owls. Are you kidding me?!?!?! I LOVE owls. I always have. I always will. My oldest is contemplating colleges. She's a junior and is starting to put serious thought into what she wants to be and where she'll go to learn about it. I really want her to major in something practical. But not matter what she chooses, OWL ALWAYS LOVE HER. So I made a little set of ATC's titled:

"OWL DO WHAT I WANT"

Kristen here -  I used some Quickutz owls for this project and some really fun paper that I just got at the local craft store with the owls on it!  It is called You're a Hoot from the finally fall collection from Bella BLVD.  I love owls... I used to have one that landed on the roof above my bedroom window and talk until I fell asleep.  Possibly he talked after, but how would I know that?  Have a great week!

Deena here - I am not a bird lover at all...in fact they kind of creep me out...they fly above you threatening poop so you have to duck and cover (pardon the pun), but I bought this owl punch on a whim and decided I had better use it at least a couple of times to get my money's worth...my hubby got a kick out of the lets' flock together phrase...typical male...so here is my attempt at owl love this week:

Challenge #113. Dancing with the Poobahs.

Hello everyone. And Welcome to the 113th Celebration here at OPUS GLUEI. We are a fun bunch, and tend to treat each and every challenge as a celebration. AND what's a celebration without DANCING! As you have probably already guessed (cuz you are smart like that) this week we are inviting you to

DANCE WITH THE POOBAH's

Get out your paints, scissors, papers, fibers and music AND DANCE with us.

 Jana here - My turn to get the creative juices flowing. And twirling. Now that you have had a chance to play with ALL of us, I think it's time to DANCE... 

This started out as a plain white 9x12 inch canvas board. I didn't really know where it would end up. I just went with it. Lots of layers. Lots of time spent doing other things waiting for the paint to dry. Lots of FUN. You can find more deets on my BLOG HERE.

Let's see what all the other wonderful poobahs have come up with for this challenge.

 
Gini here -  After I'd done multiple pirouettes in the very tight space that is my craft room (that didn't end too well), I settled down with Twinkie and David Bowie and danced the night away... 

Electra here -(tapping her toes and shaking her head wildly)
I actually have THREE LO's this week for you, none of which were made anytime recently, but all of which involve dancing. sort of
I shall show you two here, cus they're a matched set, but for the third (and the sordid story attached), you'll have to come visit me.

OK, it's not a "sordid" story. lol  But you can come see me anyways. 

Dance with us, you'll have a blast!

Kristen here - 
If you need to turn yourself around... there is a meeting for those type.  Hokey Pokey anonymous in Macon, Georgia.  It is sure to be a hit with those who need to figure out what it really is all about!  I made this on Photoshop.  It has a few effects added and a type face from daFont.  I went the quick route this week.  I am not trying to whine, but I am so busy.  A near forty brain has more trouble with college than the eighteen brain variety!  That is for sure.  I hope you enjoy my digi creation and maybe get inspired to do some of the same!!!

Deena here - did you ever have one of those crafty days when nothing you do turns out right?  Mine started with the missing stamp set...the one with the ballerina and the artsy ballet slippers that I like to use for these occassions...still can't find it, so on I went using a more "fun approach" (if you can call it that) with this card:

but I didn't really like the effect or the way it turned out, so I thought...what else can I make with two full-time dancing girls in my house???  There has to be something, so I cracked and finally did a scrapbook page from their dance recital this year (we won't mention the 8 prior dance recitals that aren't complete yet)... and this is what I came up with:

Rosemary here and I made a little card of encouragement - that we all can take to heart.  Don't worry if the world doesn't always "get" you, dance/march/tap/skip to the music in your heart.

You have until the end of Saturday 24 September to join in with your fabulous creation celebrating dancing. Add your blog post address to Mr Linky below.
