Dots on Turquoise + Owls!


I finally settled on the color scheme/theme for my classroom this year. For the past three years, I've done a monkey/jungle theme. It was cute and I love it! Now that I have a new job, in a new building, in a new classroom, I decided to go with something completely different....Dots on Turquoise + owls! Here's how I finally mind up my mind:
Yesterday, there was a teacher preview day at the local teacher store. There were reps there from a lot of different companies showcasing their new products. When I came to the Trend table, I was in love with the owls and then I went to the Creative Teaching Press table, I was in love with the Dots on Turquoise products. I didn't know what to do because I LOVED them both, but both of them did not go together. Anywho...I ended up purchasing oodles of the  Dots on Turquoise products...

Then, when I went home I started thinking about those owls again and how they didn't match my cute stuff. So....I went to Hobby Lobby and {my lovely mom} bought me scrapbook paper that would match to make my own owls. I came across this pattern on TpT that I used....

Owl Pattern by Rebecca Boudin {You should check it out....super cute!} 

Here's my work in progress....

I just need to add the black part to the eyes. I used the little dots on turquoise cut outs for the beak...what do you think? I'm going to cut out a cute little tag from cream paper too for their name too. I will have red, orange, and green owls too. 

Oh I also scored these amazing freebies yesterday during Teacher Preview Day....

I also met Melanie from Schoolgirl Style at Teacher Preview Day. She was at the Creative Teaching Press table. :) 

I hope all of you have an aMaZiNg weekend!
