Well, here he is: My Christmas Cowboy. You know he wants me, donÂ’t ya? Yep, heÂ’s inviting me to join him under the Mistletoe. He sure does know how to treat his cowgirl right.
I may have to rid myself of this here cowboy though as he was VERY picky about his clothing. He did not want to wear Christmas colors b/cuz heÂ’s so rugged you see. But, I put my foot down and told him it was this or hit the shredder. (HeÂ’s a paper cowboy - get it?) I told him he wasnÂ’t the only paper cowboy on the ranch and others before him have been sent to shredderland never to be seen again. So he let me have my way with him and still wanted ME under the Mistletoe.
I used Pat SmetherÂ’s flair by placing some poinsettias along the image. On the top is a poinsettia with a Mistletoe in the center. Okay, itÂ’s really a holly leaf, but I was on a time crunch and couldnÂ’t find a real Mistletoe. Give me a break.
Well, I have to go tend to my cowboy now. Thanks for stoppinÂ’ by the ranch.
P.S. I have 2 more cowboys celebrating Christmas with me, but I donÂ’t have time to dress them all up yet, but IÂ’ll try. I thought I had every cowboy out there; but, I think he's a cheatin' on me with other stampers. HeÂ’ll be lucky if he isnÂ’t shredded b/fore the holidays!!

Pamzi, that is a mighty fine looking cowboy...but dressing him in Christmas colors? I am surprised he didn't tell you he had rather be in the shredder than dress like that. Am I going to have to send you some mistletoe? That holly just won't get it. LOL Seriously, I love your technique...it's a fine looking er.....masculine card. :confused: I think.....

Pamzi, Pamzi....Shredder Land? Pah-leeez! Girl, the MAN is tough, but he needs to be handled tenderly. Yeah, cowboys like that. Shredder! Hmph! Well, at least he's out of the closet, and dusted off! Ai yi yi! Fine colorin' Missy, and rugged framing and delish chocolate pearls! Yummy! But then..it's a cowboy.....
Hugz......
Psst....Hey, that bath mat looks great!

Oh my gosh Pamzi, I have seen this cowboy all over Splitcoast Stampers....that two timing thug! You know back in the 80's I think it was, a guy in Connecticut put his wife through a shredder. And of course, we can't forget the movie "Fargo"....that too had another person put through the shredder. Oyi!!! I hope this handsome hunk of man does not meet his demise in the same fashion.
You card is completely adorable. You have fashioned your cowboy clothes beautifully in these Christmas colors. I love your poinsettia and mistletoe. What a fun and fabulous card!

Now I see who is spending time with my cardmaking wife. A cowboy??? What is this world coming to. You won't catch me in those colors.
At least I have debzi watching out for me. Thanks debzi.
On the serious side, this is another great card made by a great wife. I can't wait to see what's in store for your other 2 cowboys. (Wait a minute...that didn't come out right).

Does the fact that you have all these cowboys on the ranch explain where you've been? I've missed you. Your cowboy is quite handsome but his clothes ARE kind of sissy, I think.

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
