"Howdy"

I'm excited to be participating in my first card challenge. The challenge, "Fancy Folds", was to create a card that was something other than just a plain rectangle or square using a Karen's Doodles digital stamp. The stamp I chose is called "Rootin' Tootin' Cowboy". If you love digital stamps, go check out her blog, Karen's Doodles. I love every single one of her stamps. I can guarantee you won't be able to leave without purchasing at least one. The card style I chose is called "Joy Fold". A tutorial can be found over at Splitcoast Stampers.



I am pleased with the finished result, however, it is completely different from my original plan. After I finished coloring the lil' cowboy I stepped away from the table only to return and find my finished image in the hands of my 3 year old daughter, Lauren, who was also holding my paper cutter. And yes, she had already used it! Luckily, I was able still able to use the lil' guy, by cutting him out completely. Whew!

Lots of cards to share

I've always loved to color and now that I've found digital stamps I may never get anything else done other than cards. On a positive note, I guess I will have some pretty happy friends!

My desktop computer broke about a month ago so I haven't been able to upload any pictures so I have a lot of cards to share with you all today.
