Tuesday Trigger - Olive the Other Owls

One of my favorite Christmas books to share with kids (until the cartoon came out) is Olive the Other Reindeer. Every time I use Old Olive ink or cardstock, I think of this and laugh....or in this case - hoot!

This week's Tuesday Trigger (at Moxie Fab World) is based on the cutest olive and cream owl pillow from CB2. Courtney Baker (of Everything But The Kitchen Sink fame) provided this week's trigger and it was a lot of fun....be sure to check out Courtney's blog!!

here's how I was inspired:

I embossed some foil to place behind the owls - like the gray pillow form. It's a fun & easy technique - not great for photos because of the glare. I wish (after seeing the photo) that I would have added some machine stitching - do you do that too? Think of something to add or change after you've photographed - it usually happens mid-blog for me and I'm too lazy to fix it. Maybe one day - when I have more time :)
