Good morning everyone...thanks for the great challenge today, Betty...wouldn't ya know I don't have a single new color yet so I had to improvise!! This is also for da Mudder's Teapot Tuesday challenge. It seems Moe the cow who is really slow, went to Auctioneer school and will have his audition for a job soon. He has some pretty stiff competition from Ramblin Ricky and Jabberin Joe. The teapotters have a mission to show Moe how to speed up. We have been challenged to make 2 fast cards...no fancy doo dads, no embellies, no flowers, ribbons, pearls....yikes!!!!! No in colors and no embellies...what's a girl to do???? I dug out my only cow image from Very Punny and went to work!! After I popped up the little cows and the sun I reread the rules and noted we were to make a FLAT card....jeeezzzzzz!!!! Please don't tell da Mudder or I will have to come to the party through the back door!!! I'm still trying to smash down my pop up's!!! TFL!!

Hey, you! Yah, you! What you doin' trying to sneak in the front door? I gotta report from the boys....yah, the henchmen! They saw what you did this morning.....pop-up smashing while short of cows! You gotta go around to the back door and watch out for the cow paddies back there! We dug one teapotter out, from now on the others stay stuck!!!

Aw Joan, don't worry about those pop-ups, I embossed frames on mine so strictly speaking they are not 100% flat either - but with all those limitations Cindy set I think we did pretty well to stick to as many of the rules as we did Your little cow is so cute ( I panicked about cow stamps - I bought Farm Fresh for the chicks and tractor, so I always forget it even has a cow!!). That happy sunshiny meadow with the colourful cows is totally adorable.
