yipee, yipee, yipee... I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for our Sweet Patty Cakes to be the featured stamper.... finally the day has arrived.... I am so happy for you Miss Pat - enjoy your time in the spotlight.... Here is the card I cased "Brandon".
I kept the same theme and layout. I made the faux leather bg. My cowboy image of a picture of my youngest son "Guy" when he was about 6 years old. We were at a rodeo the day I snapped this picture... I don't have the WWW man that Pat used - so I had to come up with a cowboy image and this is the one I settled on. That is real leather that is holding the Armadillo conch embellishment. Distressed all edges - I had to do some sewing on my card...
Hugs my sweet friend.... Rob and I keep saying - we have to come back to visit you and Bubba.... My blog

Sensational and that armadillo is just a terrific embellishment.

To quote Pat, "Ay-yi-yi!!!!" This is magnificent, PR!!! I love that you used a photo of your sweet cowboy (DS)! The armadillo embellishment and faux leather both add so much to the authenticity of this fab western-themed card!

Yowzer! First, the photo is so sweet and I love your bg. The armadillo was just perfect, as was the leather. Girl, you have it going on with this card.

You should get a thousand views and comments on this AMAZING creation. The faux leather BG, the armadillo embellishment and that wonderful little cowboy image at the center of it all. I know Pat will be touched by this CASE.

Patricia Rose! Ai yi yi and yippie kai yeah! That thar is one sweet lil cowpoke! I love that you used Guy's photo as your main image. Precious! Your faux leather is gorgeous! And, altho I may not have mentioned this (42,000 times) before, I *love* your stitching! You are the one that encouraged me to sew on paper, and I love it! Your cards are always heart warming and beautiful! Thanks for all you share in this place, and also for making my day! Can't wait to see you and Rob again! Hugs x2!!!! LYMI
