Jean...Jean...Jean.... Don't think I didn't notice the tauntin' you been throwin' out in this gallery Missy! Yeah, I saw 'em. Saw 'em all! First, I seen this card, then this card. Does she stop? Nooooo! Looky at: this here. Took me a spell to get over the vapors lookin' at all them purdy cowboys. Whew! See? Evidence, right here in this place. She done asked fer trouble I tell ya! Don't even say you didn't see this a-comin', you Temptress!
Jean, all that silliness, just to say your gallery is inspiring to say the least (and, why don't I ever do that?) I loved looking at every page of your gallery! Enjoy your week, you Temptress Cowgirl! Hugs....
Last night I was PM'ing that sweet lil 'ol Mississippi McGyver, and we were spying on ways to take Rolled Roses to the next level. One of my friends at work soaked her scalloped circles and scrunched them up, and once dry she rolled them and I love the effect she achieved, and so did MariLynn! (who uses tissue paper to make them! Genius!) Had to try it, and love the old-fashioned look it gave.
Now, McGyver, a new technique! With no Jolee's in hand, and a desperate laziness to not want to shop, I Googled a printable cowboy boot image, so I could case this card, and oh-my-goodness, do I love Jean's card! After printing, sponging, stitching and crinkling to make the boot look worn, I popped it up on two layers of foam squares. Yes....Redneck Jolee's!
Thanks for looking! Be back in a spell to comment!

Redneck Jolie's. ROTFLMAO! I so wish we lived closer. We would take no prisoners. What a posse! This is gorgeous. The stitchin' shows your dedication to your art and craft and if I had just a little pinch of your card genius, eye for design, and creativity, I'd be dangerous,too! Thank you, my friend, for honoring me so wonderfully.

Love the stitching on the boot, and your roses definitely have a vintage look. Preaching was awesome this morning. All about connecting and having genuine relationships with the people that God has place in our lives.
