MMTPT75 Flown Economy Lately!?!

Who doesn't love a good Western!?! Well all the gals at this weeks MotherMark's TeaParty have got their 'boots on' and scooted over there pretty quick - . We're off to Dodge City as Miss Kitty is having a little 'man trouble ' and we aim to bring her a new man - Matt Dillon has taken way too long to make an 'honest woman' of her.

Being partial to the odd western I eagerly got out my images and DP (compliments of sistah Pat Smethers) and started on my journey - well let me ask you - have you travelled economy lately - I don't care how many 'horse power' they say those engines have, but in the economy section, sitting in one of their 'streamlined' seats is equivalent to riding in a rodeo - in my opinion....just like the one on this card - what is with that!?! LOL!

I could not resist using this image - my eyes have been inundated with the sight of the WWW Man and 'cowboy butts' but I have to say that none of them compare with the 'Part'n'er' that I have right here at home with me...so I wasn't even going to go there...instead I just plodded along chalking, distressing and embellishing, slowly making my way to the scene of this week's TeaParty.....I have to tell you,  I nearly tripped myself up with 'that there twine' and hardware - with so many distractions I had to stay really focused with this one!

Now girls....keep your eyes on the task at hand - it is Miss Kitty that we are finding a man for....although personally I thnk Matt Dillon is worth hanging in there for - he is 'da Man'  so honey...a little more 'powder and paint' and maybe a bit more of the 'home cooking' to fatten him up so he can't even get onto his horse and you are half way there!! LOL!

This is also for the Creative Card Crew Challenge for distressing.
Also the ABC Challenge for layering
One Stop Craft Challenge  - Something beginning with B - Bronco of course!
Craftycard Makers - our favourite things - chalks of course - love them for colouring everything and have used them on this image to highlight the horse and swirls!!  They are a very 'kind' medium...love them!!

Thanks for looking and for your encouraging comments - you make my day....oh and my hint of the day - put away a few dollars each week so you can go First Class when you travel - this economy thing is over rated - I certainly never met my 'Mat Dillon' on any flight, but sure did come across plenty of 'Festus Haggin' and 'Drunken Dan' types - skeery!!  LOL!  Keep a look out for me girls - I am on my way - yeehaa!!  God bless you!

Stop Grizzling!!

It is only just over an hour until 2010 is here for me and I could not resist sneaking in one more card for this year and how could I resist this one for MotherMark's TeaParty that is being hosted by Sabrina (aka Cook 22) this week and apparently 'it ain't no picnic!!'  The theme is bears in the forest - owwww - skeery, with trees and no artic scenes...now worries Sabrina - I have it under control!

I took myself to "Craft Central' and went ' bear hunting', I came across this gorgeous Gruffy in a RAK from my sistah Pat Smethers - thanks Pat - you have saved the day many times!  Now you may think that this Gruffie is skiing - but hey, hold on there - we are in Australia and it is SUMMER - we are Grass skiing dar-r-rling- check it out!

As for the trees - 'where are they?' you ask - they are there but you have to look so carefully for them - our Gruffie was so excited about the TeaParty (there was some talk of Sabrina bringing 'mead')  that he grass skiied so fast the leaves came flying off the trees and are blowing around behind him...I also brought a tree with me - as paper is made from trees and these photos have been taken up against a tree - so dar-r-r-lings, I think we have the 'tree thing' covered!! LOL!

It would appear we have been held up - infact we have come to a grinding halt, as you can see on the card - so we have had to send this postcard to show you that we are on our way - inspite of all odds we will make it this week...so keep an eye out for us!  Oh, and I was bringing a Lemon Meringue Pie, but have you ever argued with a hungry bear - me neither and I wasn't about to start now!! LOL!

If you get a chance you could check out the Teaparty here and maybe even come along - it would be great to see you there - if I ever get out of here that is!  LOL!

I am linking this card to the 'If the Shoe Fits' Challenge where we are to use our favourite meduim - chalking for me!
Also for the Charizma Cards Challenge where it is 'Anything but Christmas'
My Time to Craft where 'Anything Goes'
House Mouse Challenge - Winter Wishes - don't we all wish we were grass skiing instead of snow skiing - this comes from a 'non skier!' LOL!Happy New Year to you all - I pray that 2010 will be your best year yet - thank you for all that you have done for me - your friendship, encouragement and support - you are the best!  God bless you!
