I typically am terrified of my scoring blade and get very over zealous and rip my paper, but today was fun! I scored a checkered pattern then added some extra lines like plaid. Flipped over the paper then ran old linen distress ink all over it. Used my stampin up old plaid making set to finish it.Then glued parts of the plaid down, and kind of squished and pulled it, almost like paper pleating, but just pinched up the centers a bit. Used my last bell-boo hoo! And I don't think this counts as a sheep card like all my other ones, it is a SHEEP SIGN card which is much different-hee! And to be a wise guy I made sure I put 7 staples across the top because I knew someone might check...and (in a smaller voice)...there are more than 4 scores but there are only 4 main scores...hee, I crack myself up sometimes!

I like the textures and country theme to your design. The embellishments add charm and the colors are terrific! Your card title is adorable, made me giggle! Can you tell I love your card? I DO!

Avon Lady, you are a hoot! Four score and 7 staples ago! How ever did you think that one up? this is just a fabulous card for someone (although I dont know whom). I really did laugh w/that caption! yikes, girl, you had a whole lot of something running through your brain today and it sure shows.
Oh, BTW Avon Lady, no this is technically NOT a sheep card, least someone brings that to your attention. yeah, i see you kinda crack yourself up ..... as you cheat and bend the rules to suit your own desires!!!!!

That's neat the way you've pleated it - with the faux stitching it looks just like little pin-tucks.
Not that I ever did them on plaid flannel, mind you.
Brilliant card, I like quirky humour.
