First of all, I do not love horses. From a distance they are beautiful, but up close and personal, they are very scary. They also smell, and they attract flies. So much for me.
This card is for my granddaughter Sam, who ADORES horses. My DS takes his family every May to Riding High, a ranch where they ride, and each take care of a horse for a week. She is in ecstasy, even currying and shoveling!! She will like this card, I'm sure.
For the ribbon challenge, I threaded the ribbon through holes into the front where I tied a knot, and added another snippet with the horse shoe charm.

Just the cutest horse and fun way to use the ribbon. I'm sure your granddaughter will flip over this adorable card. I like the added horseshoe.

These little ribbon knots are my best way of using it - less stress than tying bows (which I know you rock at!). LOL at you not liking horses. I don't mind them, but I was never into them like my sister was - she would have loved it if we could have afforded one. I bet your granddaughter will love this - I know I do. The dark browns are red make a great colour combination.

Anne - I totally agree with your assessment of horses! Pretty to see from a distance but not my cup of tea up close either. That said, your card is adorable - who couldn't fall in love with that little horse -he is personality plus - great job on the fussy cutting.

A paper horse is the perfect horse for you to love, I certainly love him and your DGD is sure to! Love the layout, the texture and if course the horseshoe.

Your threaded ribbon is Beautiful, Anne! Cute horse...love the red hearts and red rose! Sam will appreciate this card! Down the road there are several Percherons in the fields, which are massive in size and height. When they come to the fence I always visit them.
