Howdy Pardners! It's my favorite time of the month again--Four of a Kind posting time. I
think most of my readers know what is about to happen, but if you are
new, please click here
to get the scoop.
This month, Cathy is our hostess, and she sent us a kit chock full of
Waltzingmouse goodness, featuring Back in the Saddle as well as lots of fun patterned papers, rustic jutes, and even a piece of burlap. I always hope for a self assembling card
kit, as those are usually the easiest to work with, and this month was no exception. I have been super busy getting ready for my youngest daughter's Bat Mitzvah, and haven't had much time to craft. Fortunately, the goodies in Cathy's kit pulled themselves into 5 cards in less time than it took my 10th grader to complete her History homework. Yay for that.
Here is a picture of what Cathy sent:

Here are my cards:
And, my favorite of the bunch:
This was such a fun kit to work with. It features a stamp set that I don't have, and was not even on my wish list. Who knew country western could be such fun? Thanks, Cathy, for putting such a fabulous kit together. Even though I made 5 cards, I have lots of goodies left to use to case anything I see in the future.
Now you can head over to the other members of our
Four of a Kind group to see what they have created with the same kit. That is one of my
favorite parts of our little group--the BIG reveal.

Fun kit! That's a lot of stuff!! Great cards!!! Love your cowboy banner!
ReplyDeleteI did not know what to put in that picture of the wanted poster...you cracked me up with the owl! That is so you. I would never have thought of doing something like that, but it is fabulous. I also love the card with the little banner and the western charms. You did such a good job, love all the paper combinations. See, you are a little bit western after all!
ReplyDeleteThe "wanted" owl cracked me up...
ReplyDeletetoo adorable! :)
Love the cowboy banner..

I NEED those dies!!
Fabulous cards, Joyce...
it looks as though you just had so much fun discovering your "Country" side!!
And Cathy sent so much I've easily got enough for another 10-12 cards!!:)
Happy Rosh Hashana...
wishing your name to be written because you are such an incredibly wonderful person! :)
Oh Joyce, the owl one is adorable!!! I just love it, and its SO YOU! Love that neat fabric and the deep red woodgrain paper its on, too :) That banner of western items is really cute, and love the denim ribbon behind the its your big day card. That medallion and paisley paper are awesome, too!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, all of your self assembling cards are just so much fun and that owl stamped in the wanted poster, made me laugh out loud...just so clever! I love how you used the bakers twine and strung those fabulous dies across the front of your card, just so perfect and then you finished it off with those amazing brads, a fun rustic look. I have to say that my favorite card is your last one, with the owl, who knew that owls could be so much fun!
ReplyDeleteThese are so stinkin' amazing! I love the kit that Cathy created with all that fabulous cowboys inspired goodies. I love all the cards you created and yes, the wanted owl is my fav too, love how you used the burlap! I also love your Round Up Posse card. Fantastic.
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards, Joyce! The last one with the owl is my favourite, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous collection of creations from this wonderful kit! This theme would not normally attract me, but you have done wonders with it. The colors and textures are great, and yes, that owl is a hoot! Love all of them!
