Yee Haw!

Yeehaw

Giddyup!!  Howdy partners!!  Well, I’m very excited about my new Waltzingmouse Stamp Set, Back in the Saddle.  I’ve been eyeing it for more than a few months and now have it in my hot little hands :)  I’ve started really looking at my stamp collection and like to have different looks and sayings now.  AND my dad is a cowboy so I’ll get enough use out of this set even if I just make cards for him and his friends!  Plus, there’s a little cowgirl in me too {wink, wink!}  and “giddyup” is a saying I use a lot (via Kramer on Seinfeld!).  This card is also for this week’s Waltzingmouse sketch challenge.

We are having some bitterly cold weather this week…more typical for where I live.  Staying nice and warm with our big fireplace!  Hope you are staying warm where you are :)  Y’all come back now real soon!  teehee

Two cards in one day Moe! :) I love the flourishes being the buttons. So sweet! Hoping that my Verve order is here when I get home tonight!

I'm sure your dad will be thoroughly enjoying the cards you make him from this set :) Love the flourish with the buttons. Stay warm!! I was soooo cold after standing on the sledding hill for 40 minutes after school yesterday watching the kids. I"m not made for this kind of weather LOL!

Between the awesome stamps and the fabulous stitching on this card, I'm sure it'll be a big hit. The buttons on that flourish are fabulous.

Bitterly cold - as in -30? That's where we're at. LOL! I know what you're saying, though...definitely a fireplace week!

Giddy-up, Diva! Yee Haw Indeedy! :D
Oh I can see some fabulous and fun cards with this set...including this one! How on Earth have you managed to use flourishes on a guy card for a cowboy and make it look so fitting?! Genius!
BTW - when I said it was mitten weather over here it was -6C...I'm thinking I'm a total chicken now LOL! Would I survive a winter over there?!
Hugs!

Why don't I have this set? Every time I see it I say that. Guess what is going to be on my list next release? Anyway, love the sentiment and the patterned paper with the flourishes stamped on it too. Very pretty card.

ACK! Love this, Maureen! The papers looks amazing with your Western theme! Love the flourishes with the little trio of buttons. The stitching paired with the little pinked edges around the sentiment is SO COOL!

Maureen, this is such a great card! I really love how the mix of dark patterned papers works so well with the white stamped background. It really makes your pretty stamping shine through!
