Tried to stay with the color challenge today, but you know Curt, he is one colorful Cow!....continuing on.
If you are ever on a walk in the hills and hear huffing and puffing, be sure to look up in the trees. You see, that is one of Curt’s favorite spots to “pump up” his tiny arms/legs. Just don’t stand too close as he is lifting 42,000#’s per hoof! hehe Don’t worry about the “lion” attached to his boot, his roar is much larger than he is.
Today we were to make “manly” kind of cards in teapot colors to make Sol feel strong. Kind of cheated on the color part, but there is nothing stronger than an iron pumping while balancing on a branch overlooking the hills Cow named Curt.
Hopefully Sol will love the feel of the outdoors, and the breeze Curt makes while pumping his 42,000 # weights. This card also portrays the happiness Curt’s little “lion” and his friend the mouse will bring him.
Well as you probably guessed, this is another hand drawn scene with Curt. I am finding that when in a hurry it is faster to “draw” than “find” just the right stamp in my “so organized” mess! Coloring was done with Sharpies, Bic markers and prisma pencils and a stylus.
Now itÂ’s off to the grocery store before DGS gets here. Plus it is already time for another monthly billing cycle that takes like forerver! CanÂ’t complain I guess, thankful for all our customers. Â…..will return laterÂ….TFL :0)
Hi Sis! Hi NC Sis!.....going to NHRA Top Fuel Sunday. Whoo Hoo! Celebrity Golf one weekend, dragsters the next!.....and a little Curt in between. hehe :0)
P.SÂ…Â….Oh, by the way, Curt will be selling pairs of the 42,000 # weights AND boots just like his. Place your orders soon! hehe Have you seen his key chains?

That Curt is a man er I mean cow for all seasons. He reminds me of the strong men in the original Mighty Joe Young (oops showingmy age again!) This is sure to bringa smile to Sol's face!

Yikes!! Pumping iron sounds risky enough, but since it seems to have helped Curt develop quite the fine set of muscles - is he sure that branch is strong enough?? Got to love that moustache he's grown too . I used to know somebody with a fantastic handlebar moustache that really suited him - when he shaved it off I didn't recognise him. I'm sure I'll still recognise Curt when he gets the razor out, though.

Just got my internet access back and yours was the first card I looked for. Gotta love the mustache! I can tell lifting weights is paying off for Curt.

I love Curt!!! He makes me smile and laugh, with all his antics. worse than a kid or husband, cuz at least they are supposed to know better!!
Curt is really styling in his weight lifting outfit (I'm glad he doesn't work out in the gym, I wouldn't get anything done)! I'm more thinking of when I hear that crack, to run, than look up and see Curt! I love the cute little lion at his feet! Aw heck, I just love this whole card, Cathy!! Sol will be confused, but will be thrilled too!!
