How's she goin'?

It's my turn as host over at The Sisterhood of Crafters today and I hope you'll join in our manly challenge - because I'm offering up a $5 gift certificate to FireCracker Designs in hopes that you'll be able to snag yourself some of these fun images by Bonibleaux Designs....that's right - our very own Boni Boutelle-Jones!

It's been a while since I colored a digi - like a week! Wait - it's been a week since I had such fun creating my last Sisterhood challenge card and I haven't been able to find much time to craft. Between landscaping, falling off the horse, household chores and everything else. Wait - you noticed that falling business, hey?! I may have failed to mention that to MrP, who finds my horse jumping a little unnerving. It's the first fall I've had in the year and a half that I've been taking lessons at my barn, though, so I'm figuring it was about time. Anyways, a few bumps & bruises, but nothing a visit to the chiropractor and massage therapist won't improve. My goal is to get more stamping time, but the summer sure is quickly zipping by.

I made this card for a friend who's been feeling under the weather and the sentiment inside says "Feel Better Soon". We always make hillbilly jokes so it seemed fitting - as soon as I saw the image, I knew who I wanted to make the card for. I loosely based it on Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge (#82) for this week.


Stamps: Bonibleaux Designs Hillbilly Straw
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, More Mustard, DP
Accessories: Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol, Twine, Eyelet, Nestabilities, computer generated sentiment

Be sure to check out what the other ladies have done over at the Sisterhood. Then give a manly card a shot for a little winning potential!

  7. This card is too cute!!! Love the image and you have coloured him wonderfully! That DP is fabulous too! Sorry to hear about your tumble. Ouch! I remember when my brother got kicked by a horse and had a horseshoe shaped bruise on his thigh!

    I must apologize for being VERY remmiss at sending out your thank you card! We are in the middle of VBS and 250 kids full of energy are totally zapping mine LOL! Oh to be that young and have that much energy.

    Trusting you are enjoying your summer. Our weather has finally warmed up and it is wonderful to be able to be outside with the kids.
