I have so much enjoyed making this card for Liam (my grandson).. It's been a while since I have really felt like doing any crafting, it's been such an effort... but this card came together so beautifully and took my mind to another place lol!! The image of this little cowboy is just sooooo cute lol!!
I used scraps out of my scrap box as I love that dotty paper and don't have anymore, must buy another pad as it's so nice for boys cards. I didn't have enough for the bottom so I used a coordinating sheet out of the pad... I have used two lots of design papers one from 'Wellington' and the other is called 'Oxford'. I inked all the papers, cards and dies with colorbox chalk ink. I love the circle die it's called 'Picot Edge Circles' by spellbinders and I have put red gem stones in each of the circles. The stars are are a Die-manics die called 'stacking stars' I got it from 'Dies to Die for' - BEWARE when you go on this site, it takes all your money lol!!! Tracy has a fantastic selection of goodies, and is so friendly and always willing to help you with any products you want! Oh! and my letters and number are a Tim Holtz die called 'Carnivale' I love it and have used it so many times.. Last but not least is the lovely image which I coloured with my trusty prisma pencils lol!! and you can find him here.

I thought this project was so clever.. the images are only 1" in size, but I love how Rox put them altogether and made this gorgeous wall hanging... Do pop over to Rox's blog and see how she did it!
That's it from me for today guys... if you have snow, take care and snuggle up in your craft rooms with some lovely hot chocolate, and maybe a little Baily's cream if it's not too early... but you know what they say 'It's five o'clock somewhere in the world'... lol!!
Take Care..
Love and Hugs,
Marjorie

This is fantastic! Gorgeous image and everything is so well coordinated for the cowboy theme. The colours and papers are perfect, the die cut circle reminds me of a cart wheel and the alphabet font definitely has a wild west look to it. BRILLIANT!
