In honor of President's Day, we are to limit ourselves to a Presidential connection. Looking at my cowboy snowman you may wonder, but I can explain.
As y'all may know, I'm a native Texan and yesterday in the Dallas area they had a record 12 inches of snow! That's just incredible! We're supposed to get the snow today here in N. GA. Anyway, we've had several Presidents from Texas: LBJ, Bush the first and junior. Eisenhower was actually the first President from Texas. (Even though KS claims him, he was born in Dennison, TX). I used to work around the corner from the house Bush the first built in Houston. While he was President I used to see him and get caught in his motorcades frequently. Bush jr. and LBJ both have/had ranches. So if you were visiting them today, this is what it would look like.
For my card, I stamped the cowboy snowman scene on the front of a 5.5 x 4.25 (A2) white card, colored it w/ markers and a blender, then masked it and used my Cindy (Mothermark) inspired cloud stencil to sponge in the clouds. I stamped the snowflake bg around the edges of the card front. The white frame has the snowflakes again and I cut the oval using a Spellbinders nestie, then sponged around the edges and attached it to a cobalt blue layer (I also cut out the center of this layer so that the snowman scene would show through).
A couple of red snowflakes were added to the upper left corner and I used the Birthday embossing folder on a piece of metallic silver c/s and cut out just the one word (the silver c/s is actually the liner of chewing gum container, lol). After all, President's Day honors the birthdays of our Presidents so it's only appropriate to have a birthday greeting. Some stickles was added to the snow.
Thanks for stopping by! Y'all keep warm! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

Cute, cute card and a very interesting story. How nice to be that close to a U.S. President and his home and motorcade.
