I'm your huckleberry


     I think the new "Giddy Up" set from TSG is just so darned tootin' fun!  Had to play with some more of these fabulous stamps for the new challenge at There She Goes Stamps.  This was a toughie for me.  Our challenge theme is to case one of our Trendsetters.  I'm terrible at casing but fairly decent at copying.  LOL  Here's the cute card from our fabby DT leader Jessie Rone that I chose to case.  Now let me tell you, trying to choose one card to case from among this design team is pretty darned hard.  The team is filled with awesome card makers.  I settled on Jessie's cause her paper piercing caught my eye and I loved the fun use of the chevrons on her card.  Here's her version and my inspiration.


     My colors are much more subdued and I used a totally different style of image, but I like how it turned out.
     We'd love to have you play along by casing one of our Trendsetters.  Ha! Ha!  Good luck just finding one.  ☺
     I'd like to enter this card into the Twisted Tuesday piercings with buttons or brads challenge and Marker Pops embellish with buttons challenge.
     Just a few more days left to get in on my blogaversary candy draw.
     Be blessed!

After the cowboy, the cowgirl... lol

I've already admired the little cowboy, which is admirably colored and "framed" but your cowgirl is just as pretty and cute!
I love the chevrons and the colors you've used!
