As a "Dirty Dozen" alum on SplitCoastStampers.com, I was delighted to have the opportunity to host a challenge yesterday for an annual stamping event that's organized for the SplitCoastStampers.com forum members. What a wonderful reason to spend some time being crafty this week! Ten Gallon Tex seemed to be fitting for my challenge, which was all about keepin' it rural! You can find all the details of the event here. And if you're into rubber stamping and are in need of inspiration, you MUST check out the member galleries! They're LOADED with amazing creativity and ideas!
Supposed to be HOT HOT HOT here this weekend, so perhaps I'll spend a bit more time being crafty. Inside. *grin*
What are your big plans for the weekend?
PS: Speaking of chickens, I just saw this rare coupon at coupons.com for .75 off Land O Lakes EGGS! I personally don't need this coupon, but you should grab it while you can, zipcode 76670.
I'm sad that I didn't get a chance to participate in this fun challenge. I've been thinking that I'll do some of the challenges after-the-fact, and this is one of them. Because, you know, rural is what it's all about! The star, twine, and button match Tex perfectly. Your coloring is yummy, as always.

Cute card!!! I wonder what Shorty (that is your rooster's name?) would look like in a ten-gallon hat? I had to laugh when you said its supposed to be hot, hot, hot... I had heard that Texas had had hot weather for the past 30 some days. So what is "hot, hot, hot" supposed to be and what do you call the past 30 days?

I love Ten Gallon Tex! :) He's one of my favorites.
It's not as hot here. Still hot, just not AS hot. We are celebrating Joe's 12th birthday tomorrow at our friend's farm. The water is warm on top, but nice and cool a foot or so down. :)

Cute card and love the metal looking star. Not having near enough fun here,getting groceries at Wegmans, watching it rain, and unpacking boxes into the new craft room. Stay cool!

Mr. Chicken reminds me of Lyle Lovett's 10-gallon hat song. Oh Lordy, how I love that song! Darling chicken image too with those scrawny chicken legs swimming in those cowboy boots! Such personality!
