Whoo's One?

For the past few weeks, I have been struggling with making my Christmas cards.  I just have no ideas and no inspiration. They are done, but I do not love them and they will probably never show up on my blog.
Then this morning, I had to make a birthday card for Dylan's one year old birthday. The theme was Owls.  I used the Create a Critter cartridge and actually got this card idea from the front of the cartridge book.  I love how it turned out.  I covered the white card with different solid papers and folded the card to give it more dimension.  After finishing the owl, I added the tree branch and leaves to the inside.  Now why couldn't my Christmas cards have been this easy and cute?
Have a great week!
