This image as well as the cactus cut-outs were a gift from Pat Smethers. I colored the image with markers and drew the border with a permanent marker and mounted it on a scrap piece of Old World DP CS. Mounted the cut-outs with pop dots. Wrote the sentiment with a black felt tip pen.

Tater, you just rock, you know that girl? OMGosh, I love this image- she is one of my favs. Her name is Carrie. (Rubber Romance) and the cactus are from Creative Cards, Etc. in Grass Valley, Ca. You did such a great job with those copics girl! I love this card!

Hey Tater Sistah! This is so cool. I love how you incorporated those cacti! The sentiment is TOO TRUE! For others of course, since I am so very young...
