On Simon’s blog I share how to alter a stamp using this small Memento ink. I also share how handy a bendable ruler can be. I use this larger one and it’s so useful for so many things especially backgrounds, hills, mountains, journaling etc.
I also give you a tip on adding the sharp tips on the feathers on the barn owls feathers. Since most of you are kind enough and or already visit Simon Says I have a little treat for you. (owl photo link here)

I am curios…. did you notice the numbers on the doors on one of the cards at Simon? Did you know what I was going for? The bachelor owl…. is choosing whooo is behind door number 1 or door number 2? Ok just had to ask? Have a great day my friends and a happy 4th of July if you are from the USA. Hugs, Kathy

Owls are one of my favorite critters so I can’t help liking your card. I did get the bachelor door reference having watched the show a ‘couple’ of years ago. I have wish listed the owl he is too cute to pass up. Thanks for sharing your gift with us.
