This is my Monday challenge card with a small group of SCS friends. One a month we honor a SCS friend with a *catchy* screen name. This is my story!
1. The challenge requirements? Make a card for TOY, put a toy on it and mail it to Holly.
2. Don't even go there....don't even think about it! Just listen up before you buzz me! This card does not *say* what you think it says! (well, kinda/sorta)
3. I don't have a single stamp of a toy, not a single one! I spent most of Mother's Day searching for one. Hey, my son is 22 years old and I started stamping well after he was outa the toy stages!
4. Well, Holly is a grown woman! I doubt she has an interest in Jacks, I'm a Little Baker play sets, or dolls that cry and wet their pants all over her stamping supplies!
5. So (you know me) I love the Wild Wild West stamp set, so I just decided to make Holly a card using one of my favorite stamps, a card that has her name on it.
6. That's all I have to say about this card!
I have two wonderful SCSers supplying me with WWW images....Mary Webb and Pat Smethers. Not sure whose I used so thanks to you both. Thanks Pat for the awesome horseshoe twill!

Love that bg paper where did you find it! I was given a Rak for mothers day all cowboy/western things! That would go perfect with it. Great colours and that perfect look. Nice job! Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

OMG.......this is simply fabulous and I certainly played horseshoes as a child and my nephew plays horseshoes in a league as an adult (well...he did a few years ago)......besides...you have the stars on it and my guess is that many of us had sheriff's stars we wore (or our brothers did) when they played cowboys and Indians.......so there...you are absolutely legal smeagal......

Now this is my idea of a TOY, why didn't I think of that. Cool Cind, at first I thought you'd have to buzz yourself, and then my mind went......... well you said not to go there, so I can't say where my mind went. hehe!
