I promise to get to all of my neglected commenting too. I owe you all comments on your blogs, and apologize profusely for not getting to them before this. That darn scrapbook stole days of cardmaking and blog browsing.
CASology has a new cue card this week, and I was stumped for a day or two. Had a small ping, so then I thought, well, let's see if I can make the small ping work. I'm pretty sure that it does...
I kept it very, very clean and simple:
Can you believe I actually went online to learn how to tie a lasso? It is tied properly, at least according to the directions I found. I used my Cameo to cut out the speech bubbles and the "Howdy". The dp is from a 6x6 Kaiser Craft, and the brown cardstock is just a scrap. The base is some kraft cardstock.
My next card comes from my group of nine Halloween cards. I thought it would be nicer to show you the whole group, and then just an individual card I've made and will to pop into Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. So first, the inspiration:
And next, the group of cards I made between yesterday and today:
Photo's not very clear, but these are all the cards for the little ones. I have cards for the college grandgirls, but they're not in the photo. This is the one I chose for the challenge:
Doesn't this just crack you up??! What a funny little doxie! All of the stamps are from Newton's Nook. And just let me say, Dang!, they are some of the finest stamping stamps I've ever used. Copics to color, and an MFT die. I wish you could see the Wink of Stella on the wings and tutu, but that part didn't seem to want to cooperate. Oh well...And now, if I'm to get onto comments, I had better shut up! Happy dances everyone!

Me again - LOVE your country card! Howdy, gingham and a lasso - doesn't get more 'country' than that! And did you see the new challenge at Newton's Nook? Check it out...I think your group may have another entry, or two, or three to be showcased...

I love your "Howdy" card. Very country. My skirts are finally done so I can get back to my cardmaking but I'm struggling with my Halloween cards. I think my card creativity got jealous and took to hiding. I'm also WAY behind on my blog reading and commenting.
What a great set of cards! I have to say I adore your country "howdy" card...everything about it screams COUNTRY and it is so beautifully CAS! So glad you joined us at CASology!
wow...you have been a very busy bee! I just love all your sweet Halloween cards, so cute! The dog dressed up in the pink tutu is about as cute as it gets! Your country card is just as amazing as all your other cards, from the gingham paper to the rope, this is soooo country!
Those scrapbooks take enormous amounts of time. You must feel so proud to have it finished and I'm sure it's a treasure!
In spite of that and your migraines, what a treat to give us a whole boatload of wonderful inspiration, Bevie! Every card is spectacular, but I have to say that lasso for CASology made me squeak!! So a winner!! Genius!! And, of course, I love the doxie!
I hope you get a chance to play at MUSE this weekend - and no more migraines for a very long time!! Hugs, Darnell
Your Howdy card...genius!!! Love it!
And your little doggie card is so cute!!!
Wow, that was a marathon for your scrapbook, Bev ... what a wonderful gift for the kidlets! Glad to hear the YKWs stayed away and you got to ping ... and what a ping. So many Halloween cards ... a real cutie poochy in the delicate tutu ... it so had me chuckling! The piece de resistance for me is your 'country' card ... so completely inspired and beautifully executed ... I'm calling winner winner winner on this one my friend! Anita :)
