There's a new theme at Flashback Friday ... repost your first-ever owl card. Apparently I was a bit ahead of the "owl-curve* because my first owl card goes all the way back to June 2008.
It's a bit busy ... and I'm not exactly sure what I was going for with all of those sentiments ... and I wish the stamped sentiment would have had a bit more contrast.
As I said in my 2008 post, owls have always reminded me of my Gran's kitchen when I was growing-up because she had some fun owl decor in the 70s.
It's always fun to link-up and see how far I've come. Hop on over to Flashback Friday & join the fun.
LOL...I don't think it is busy at all...I LOVE it! Thanks so much for joining us at Flashback Friday...really love your owlie card!

Owls! Seeing your post prompted me to go & check out FF & link up for the first time, so thank you :)
I loved that stamp until I bought it, and I swear, I've never made anything I liked with it! lol. I love the colours in your card, and I had to laugh out loud at your critique. We're always hardest on our own selves.

I like this card! All of the stamped line designs at the top look neat. I like the center w/your owl and the sentiment. Never would think to stamp multiple sentiments on a card front. Great idea.:)

So interesting looking back at our posts isn't it. Yes, you certainly seem to be ahead of the trend. 2009 seems to be a common year for the first owls. So glad you joined in over at Flashback Friday 18.0
