HERDING VACATION?

I have a friend (I know, shocking, right?) who went on vacation not too long ago and participated in a cattle drive.  She said they only went down the street, but still, that sounds like FUN!!  So when I was doing my daily browsing on THE DAILY DARE, I found several challenges I wanted to participate in and was thinking, how could I make this work?  And what you see above is the outcome.  Here are all the details...

• Card base Navy blue from Value pack pre-scored for easy folding!
• Dotted background paper cut @ 5 1/4" x 4" (DCWV Flower Shower Spring Stack)
• Yellow background paper cut @ 5 1/2" x 3 1/4" (DCWV Flower Shower Spring Stack)
• Cricut Cartridge PAPER DOLL DRESS UP
• Cowboy page 66 cut @ 3 1/2" (papers from Recollections)
• Cow page 67 cut @ 2 3/4" (papers from Recollections)
• Buttons and Twine from Joann's
• Bottom grass is actually the negative from a grass cut PDDU page 78, Tabs, cut @ 1 1/2" orginally
• 2 different sized Googlie eyes
• Cowboy face drawn with Ultra Fine Tip Black Sharpie
• Everything edges with Stampin' Up chalks

This is my submission for the following challenges:

1. Paper Cutz Challenge #50 - Cowboy / Western Theme
2. 365 Cards Day #138 - Create Your Own (List A - Gingham; List B - Red, Green, Yellow; List C - 2 buttons; List D - Oval (rope around cow)
3. If The Shoe Fits #41 - Vacation (cattle drive time!)
4. Raise The Bar #27 - Something old (DCWV Flower Shower Spring Stack papers); Something new (larger Googlie eyes!); Something borrowed or recycled (negative image from grass cut earlier); Something blue (buttons, background paper, card base, and cowboy's jeans)

Yes, we are having fun now!  Or as we say at our house when something is working out....

"WE'RE COOKING WITH GAS NOW!"

Happy Trails to You,
