A Fishing Charter Birthday Party

Nephew 2:  Mitchell is going on a fishing charter off Queenscliff this weekend for his 14th Birthday.  The Crusier stamp from Stampin' Up's Seaworthy stamp set was the perfect fit for this occasion.

My Sister in Law Linda: 
Linda likes cats but I dont have any stamps that are suitable - so the next best thing for me......BIRDS ha ha yes I am addicted to birds.  I have never used the Owl from Punch Bunch so today I tried him out for size.
