Saddle Up! + A 20 Challenge Card

Hello there! I couldn't resist using this great stamp set by Taylored Expressions of Saddle Up! It reminds me of my daughters when we first moved back to California and went to Western Boot to buy, well, cowboy boots. 

I stamped the image twice to reflect the colors of the boots that were in the same style that came in a peachy color and a turquoise color. I still have those – you know what begins with an S-kickers and they are very well loved and used.

I'm going to be entering these cards into the following card challenges:

I think that's enough challenges!

It's still really hard to link as my mouse and typepad are still on some serious steroids (and I am too) despite my settings. It's always something, isn't it? And it's driving me insane taking over 30 minutes to link a card since barely touching one letter just trails down the entire post. Okay, I'm done linking. I was going to take this disaster to Best Buy once I could drive again, but I just found out that it burnt down so I'm going to find a college kid who can actually help me. The rest of the challenges that I'm participating in will not be linked, my frustration is at an all-time high, especially after the week I've had and I refuse to put myself through this taking this type of time to link up that I frankly do not have nor want to spend the time on. I know that sounds awful, but I had my 79th procedure on my back on Thursday.

Since I'm sending these off to my girls, I had to add a tiny bit of bling in the stars with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen. It was difficult finding patterned paper for these images without making them too masculine, but I think I pulled it off. 

I stamped the images using my MISTI with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink a few times to get a deep and rich intense black color and then used several colors of Copic markers to color them in. I then die-cut them out with the coordinating die-cuts that come in the package and the rest is pretty much history. 

I hope my beautiful daughters like their cards. They truly are cowgirls.

Thank you so much for stopping by to visit me today and I hope to see you again soon. God bless and take care until the next time.
