Put on Yer Boots!

{Under Construction - I am in the process of re-doing my blog. Everything has run amuck!}

Good morning! It is a beautiful Thursday morning here. It has cooled a bit overnight and the sun is just coming over the trees in the horizon. Thursday is going to be a good day, I can just feel it!

Today I have a special card to share with you all. It is my 2nd easel card (I think I am getting the hang of it!). Of course now I see people are now making shaped easel cards - see, told you I was behind times!!

I started with Cowboy Piggy {found here}:



There is just something about this critter that I love! I don't get a chance to use him a lot, but when I do, he puts a big smile on my face - wouldn't you agree!?!?






"Dziekuje" is "Thank You" is Polish (and Ukrainian too I do believe):




My first attempt at sewing around a shape - I was very nervous!


Card Ingredients:
StampFairy digi; My Mind's Eye papers; Recollections cardstock; Copics; Gelly Roll white pen; Oval Nesties; Dress It Up buttons; blue floss

I made Cowboy Piggy for the following challenges:
Your Next Step - 3 embellies (stars), 2 DP papers, 1 image
ABC Challenges - Z is for Zoo Animals (mine is more of a petting zoo critter)
Creative Card Crew - Animal Antics
Kaboodle Doodles - stitching
There's Magic In the Air - LOTS of layers (8 on the front)
Happileigh Scrappin' - shaped or fancy fold cards
Sweet Sketch -

I do hope you enjoy your Thursday - we are one day away from a long weekend here - can't wait!
