I made this card to send to a couple from my church and used our Color Throwdown colors for today and the March Guest Designer sketch for My Favorite Things this month for design inspiration. This couple...he’s working many, many hours and trying to get his degree, and she is at home with the kids just trying to keep everything running smoothly. So I thought this cowboy from My Favorite Things, along with the sentiment I added inside (see my blog post HERE) would be a good note of encouragement for them both. The cowboy comes from the new Cowboy at Heart a ‘la modes stamp set from MFT and I used a few Die-Namics here as well… the Fishtail Flags STAX and the Oval Chain Border.
And after I uploaded this morning I realized this guy fits in with the LoveFest challenge for today, sponsored by MFT!

Been there, done that as my DH was going through seminary and I was homeschooling the six kids....I had plenty of days where I felt at the end of my rope. I'm sure your friend will be encouraged by your sweet card. Love the look of your mix of dp and the awesome coloring on your cute image.
