Man, oh man, here is a totally unedited picture. Due to computer problems I had to backpack it all the way to California via DH's laptop - and he's just deleted my photo editing program off it...
I want to make a card with a cow on it, in the mean time here's my back-pack, loaded full of frustration.
Check out Cindy's amazing card HERE and read about the teaparties.
This is also for yesterday's TLC, which I missed, as it was a holiday here, and we went over to my aunt.
I used black card for the base, with white eyelets and white mulberry card patches. Red card for the front pocket, with a black eyelet. Black grosgrain for the back straps and some black and white spotted ribbon for the front ties. I threw on some blue patches on the little front pocket just to tie it in with the teapot.
Sorry for the rotten picture. My PC went AWOL last night, and I'm not going near it any more today.

Sabrina, what a hike. I love your little cowhide backpack. Computer problems are so frustrating. A thunderstorm knocked my computer off-line for about 2 hrs this am. I hope you get your computer problems worked out.

Oh Sabrina, you're here! And you brought your wonderful cowhide back-pack! I was just asking the girls how Alisha was gonna get her trophy home and then you show up with this wonderful little back pack! Even though its filled with frustration and its packing a bunch of miles on it all the way from Ireland, its a back pack made for a California cow.
If you vote for Alisha she will buy you a new PC and pay for someone to milk your cow for you! Snort! I love your creativity here! You rocked this challenge! Happy Holiday Yesterday!!

This is so cute - I love your design and how you worked it into both challenges. That ribbon is wonderful and the colors look great together.

I was hoping you would be able to hitch a ride to the cow party. I love this little backpack. That ribbon is perfect. I think this photo is way better than any edited photo I could do. Hugs to your computer. That is so frustrating.

I hope you know what you've gotten yourself into with this adorable cowhide back pack, Sabrina: now we ALL want one. I hope you've brought enough so everyone can have one to tote their touristy California paraphernalia into. So clever and creative!

Love your cow backpack. I actually have a cow lunch bag. Like I've said before, I love cows. I need a bumper sticker with that on it. I couldn't even get started on making one of these backpacks. You sure did a super job with yours! Love it. Glad you brought it to the party. You wouldn't happen to have some goodies in there would you? I'm hungry... TFS :0)

Oh how I dread the computer when it's starts acting up. Hang in there Sabrina, I say everything will work out just fine if you can find a good hammer. LOL
Very lovely backpack, alot of California go backpacking. Hope you make it to Tosh's dairy farm. There you can sit down and I'll make you a nice warm glass of milk, no need for the microwave when you have it on hand!
Lovely card, you worked the teapot colours beautifuly. TFS
