Geez, what a challenge Cindy set us this morning -I quote: Bring your fastest cards girls and bring two of them! No fancy doo-dads, no embellishments, limited layering, just clean, clean, clean. No flowers, no brads, no ribbon, just simple, simple, simple. No pop-ups, no special folds, just flat, flat, flat. Just quick, just cute, just fast, fast, fast. That's your task, two cards real fast!! And let's make them kid appropriate! Yah, that's it! Two cards for kids!! You'll see why when you read the Destination Station.
So here is one of my fast and furious kid-friendly cards. It's too windy down on this farm to try to get two of them to stay in place long enough to take a photo.
Fast for sure - I coloured with markers, and as the cow mask was already made after the first one, the second one didn't even take ten minutes.
5" square, circle frame embossed with Nestabilities.
Images from Farm Fresh stamped with black and coloured with markers. Sky and grass chalked in fast and furious, no fancy shading or nuttin' - I followed the rules all the way.
I reckon this is where Moe's heart really lies - he may be all dressed up smartly for his city-slicker auctioneer's job (hey, just thought, maybe he's an auctioneer at a farmers' market, so he may not have moved too far. Natch, he's too smart for a farm auction). The slow pace of life on this little farm looks more his style, and who's that waiting for him down in the corn patch?

Sabrina! Your FAB cards arrived today - all the way from Ireland! Wow! ........Yikes! I am an ex Brit, born and raised there.
Your cards are absolutely perfect and I love the envelopes too! THANK YOU so much for playing & sending! This will mean a lot to those kids.
So...........screen name you ask? Well, see the lovely kitty picture, that is BORIS. I have two kitties, Boris, the blue exotic and Nataschia, a tortie point Himmy. Got them at the same time as I just couldn't choose! Boris was born on Valentine's Day = Boris Valentino! And, just to be fair, Nataschia's middle name is Isabella.
Oh, and then there is the Shih Tzu, Mikko (meeks) with no middle name coz he chases the cats and is a villan!
Can't wait to deliver these cards and take photos for you all! Thank you again! The cards are just adorable!
