Howdy

Hello all and Happy Saturday! Today we are off to a local (well, 3 hours away type of local) raspberry ranch where we hope to pick berries, eat berries, and just plain ol' enjoy the day. Hopefully they just weigh the raspberries we pick and don't weigh US before and after to figure out how much we consume along the way!

Today a new challenge has been set at Catch the Bug:

WARM COLORS AND PAPER-PIECING

Now I'm going to be honest, this one was tough for me. I guess that's why they call 'em a challenge!
I don't remember what this type of card is called, but the base is 4.25" by 4.25" and the image portion peeks above to make the total length of the card 5.5". I used Cowboy Boot and Howdy Sign dollar digi's from Bugaboo. That's right, there is now a $1 section!

I added some glaze and sewing as usual. Think it's too bright? You know, I've actually seen boots this color! Even brighter!

Thank you for stopping by today. I really do appreciate your visit.

  1. AND I always love coming to your blog to visit. But I am so disappointed this time. :-( This card is so adorable, I love how the image peeks over the top... and there are no directions on how to make it. :-(
    I don't think it's too bright at all.. I love it...

    My husband is always telling me that they are going to weigh me before I leave the grocery store because I taste the grapes before I finally decide which ones I want.. (I did tell them I did it and they said I could... you can't just buy grapes without tasting them.. what if you didn't like them)

    I am sure Bean is going to be having a great time.. don't forget to take your camera to get capture some awesome memories that you are going to one day scrap for her... and of course get some of her and daddy.. (and daddy needs to get some of you and Bean)..
