Cows!!

My grandson turned 2 recently and since he absolutely adores

cows of any kind, color or size.....I made him a 

COW CARD!!

I cut a strip of grass with a

Memory Box die and popped up

2 cows (stamp by Stampin' Up!)

Popped some diecut clouds and stamped the 

saying by A-muse and it was done.

A verse inside said Happy Birthday but this

kid only looked at the cows on the front.....hahaha

Thanks for stopping by and have a 

G-R-E-A-T

weekend!!  

We are going to my g-daughter's high school

graduation.  I know, that makes me

OLD!!

Playing again at CAS(E) this sketch!  Here is the

sketch I am going for:

I stamped the bird (MFP) on the 

tree (Judith) and then stamped the

verse (MFP) and added a die cut

of a bird (die by Die-versions).

As CAS as it gets!!

And here is a photo of a hillside in our cattle pasture 

covered with Pasque (May) flowers which are our state flower 

here in South Dakota.

A bit hard to see the diminutive flowers peeking out from

beneath a canopy of last year's grass but hope you can

visualize an entire hillside blanketed by them!

Thanks for stopping and

Happy Mothers Day to all you Moms out there!

CAS-UAL Fridays CFC100

I am playing again over at:

This week they are celebrating their birthday and the 100th challenge!

CFC100 is a TIC-TAC-TOE game where you choose a line and make your entry according to the words.
I chose the birthday-bling-punches or dies and here is my card:

Stamps by SU!

Inks by Memento and Distress

embossing folder by Darice

Edger punch by Martha

black gems by Kaisercraft

I tried to make a shadow-y effect behind my verse 

but think I only succeeded in making

it appear smudged......

Thanks for stopping by!

I colored her with Distress markers

(love how blendable these are!!)

I diecut a wreath by memory box

with "Forest Branches" by Provo Craft.
