Oh dear, this week Curt the squirt has gotten himself in a real jam...got himself stuck while trying to jump over the moon...yep, he sure did..here is the story and pix to prove it..
Well, with lots of help and encouragement, Curt has gotten down from his precarious position and is now reviewing what he wants to do with his life...with various teapotters help, he has tried tubing, baking, flower arranging, and many others. But he's kinda stubborn, (he is a bull after all) and he is dead set on being a stunt cow...but he's shamefaced embarrassed about the failure of his moon jumping stunt so has hired a personal trainer Francois and has retreated to the pasture where there is less papparazzi and is working on gettin buff so can take on all the fab offers coming his way without falling on his face....
It is taking him awhile as he was horribly out of shape and he refused to come to the party and have his pic taken until he could lift at least 1 lg farm animal...the only one trusting enough was Hetty Piglet..or maybe she just wanted to pose since it looks like she stayed a little long at the Hog Henna Parlour...
So he's been working out and Francois (that's him on top of the heap) has been putting him through his paces... Squat...and..hold..2..3..and..up....Squat...and..h old..2..3.. and..up...and......
The color inspiration for this I got from a sunsuit in the Wal-Mart kiddy section...love the yellow and black check..which led to the Debbie Mumm type colors and layout.. The checked paper is actually just a checkerboard border stamped on cream..I sponged the sky and grass and drew in some grass and flowers. Curt, Hetty, and Francois are cut on my cricut..

Well, Curt's no longer stuck in the middle... now he's stuck on the bottom! But as far as his weight training program, he's got quite a good plan. Love the black and white checks with the yellow polka dots, and your card is adorable. Great story too!

Oh my gosh, you silly storyteller! Your card is so wonderful. I love that image and those black checks in the bg just make it all that much more fun. What a darling card this is.

Ah - isn't Hettie cute looking!! I like Francois, myself, he looks well able to rule the roost and get Curt in shape. I like the way you gave Curt that little bell, too...and love your colour inspiration.
