Here's my card for the Teapot Challenge "Whykickamoocow".
Since Joyce, secretary for WCWA, was stressed about this yearâs Miss Whykickamoocow Contest, she contacted Jim Smiley to ask if Daniel Webster (Jimâs frog from The Calaveras Frog Jumping Contest) could be guest judge. (See Mark Twain) Danâl agreed to fly to South Australia, since heâd never been there and he knew he couldnât jump quite that far.
Well, Miss Leggy entered the contest wearing her finest crystal tiara and necklace hoping to win a trophy and gift voucher from Woodsieâs General Store. However, Danâl wasnât a fan of Miss Leggy and disqualified her because she was from Stinkinswampsville in Northern Australia. Miss Leggy was royally miffed and decided to dispose of Guest Judge Daniel Webster!
So, I stamped Daniel (frog) and Miss Leggy and colored them with Copic markers. I added some color to bg paper and heat embossed some fireworks in the sky. I added Swarovski crystals to punched star corners and for Miss Leggy's tiara and necklace.

My goodness! Isn't the world of beauty contests cut-throat! Love Miss Leggy and all her bling! She's probably helping Australia not get another introduced species to cause more trouble. I think she should get Whykickamoocow's environmental award of the year for her trouble!

I think I just wet my pants! Oh my goodness Gracie, just when I think the tales out of Whykickamoocow couldn't get any funnier, along comes another one. Oh my gosh, your story is hilarious...I love all the details, you can officially write chapter 4!!! Miss Leggy is a knock out, who knew such a gorgeous gal came from Stinkinswampsville in Northern Australia. I just scrolled back for another look and mopped the tears of laughter - fireworks and background are magic Gracie. Thanks for visiting Whykickamoocow, I can't 'til next year!!

This put a bit grin on my face. Fab heron, wonderful background. I once managed to snap a heron swallowing a fish, but it took a lot of patience. Far easier to show us on a card - and far prettier too. Mine certainly had no pearl necklace or tiara.

Susie is going to have to put all these Whykickamoocow stories together and publish them along with all the beautifully bright and colourful illustrations. Love the pretty background for the swamp.
