Baby Nursery - Wall Art with Cricut and CTMH

Good Morning everyone!

My husband and I were at the hospital this past Friday for an ultrasound.  Baby is healthy and moving like CRAZY!!  In fact, they couldn't get all the pics they wanted because the baby was moving so much so I'll have to go back again in a few weeks  :)  I don't mind - I could sit and watch my baby all day on that screen!  They were however able to determine the baby's gender!!

We are all excited!  My son especially because he's been saying it's a girl since we found out and he was right!

So now we know, I can really start working on baby projects!  Of course we are moving in 13 days so I need to deal with that first - but I just haven't brought myself to pack up my craft room yet.  I know I need to start soon....In the meantime, it's still out when the mood strikes me.  Like last night!  I was on Pinterest gathering baby girl ideas and came across the most adorable owl canvas.  I had already decided weeks ago, girl or boy, the nursery was going to have an owl theme.

So I sat down with a 12 x 12 blank canvas.  I painted it pink with Folk Art Baby Pink acrylic paint.  While it was drying I cut out pieces with the cricut.

I started with the adorable owl from Create a Critter 2.  I love the hearts on this owl!  I sized it at 5" for my canvas using cocoa, blush, buttercup, and the dark pink was from my scraps.

Then I added the phrase.  The letters were cut using the Rock Princess cartridge using the heart font.  I cut the letters at 1.25".

Then, using Cricut Artiste I cut hearts to go both above and below the phrase.  They were cut at 1".  Once I had all the paper cuts down, I went over it all with a couple coats of Mod Podge to seal it all in.  

After the Mod Podge dried, I added some flowers and buttons from my stash and I added the glitter detail to the owl and hearts using some Studio G glitter glue.

And here it is all together.  The space over the owl was left empty on purpose so that after we agree on a name I can go back and add it in.  We have it narrowed down to two possibilities :)
