COWBOY IN TRAINING

Hi Everyone

A very productive day in the house of hearts craft pod today .. .. but I still don't want to give in!! Might not get a choice soon though as hubby will be back soon.

Today hasn't been quite so sunny here but can you believe the radio has been talking about hosepipe bans!! How many days of sunshine have we had?!?!?

Mind you the weekend is meant to be blisteringly hot .. .. especially Sunday where 30 degrees is being mentioned. All the supermarkets are expecting to sell out of anything BBQ related as it is going to be so nice .. and of course England will be playing again. I am so pleased this match has fallen on a weekend so that more people will be able to watch.

Anyway round to one of my creations for today

This used:

Image: Digital image from Bugaboo (I cannot see it on their website at the moment and have a feeling it was a freebie a while back but there are other cowboy images)
Sentiment: Came with the image
Backing Paper: DCWV "All About Boys" Stack
Josy Rose: Nail Head Stars
ProMarkers
Crystal Stickles

I bought the paper stack from my local Dunelm Mill. It is opposite where my youngest son lives and I popped in whilst waiting for him to return from town .. .. meeting place .. .. the craft section. Great offers there at the moment - all DCWV paper stacks were half price!!! So if you have a Dunelm near you it might be worth paying them a little visit!! I asked if they were closing the craft section and they said not .. .. they must be making way for more goodies.

Now back to the digital image - I did abuse the image a little because the poor little chap didn't have a nose or mouth. You can't have a cowboy in training without a mouth now can you? How would you know if he was happy or not???!!!

So this is me for today.

Have a lovely evening, whatever you are doing, and I will see you tomorrow sometime.

Thanks for visiting.

Love Jules xx

    I'm glad you've had a productive day, Jules. It's very satisfying when you've got done what you wanted isn't it.
    I love your Cowboy in training and he definitely looks very happy to have a big smiley mouth, somewhere to put all those baked beans!!
    It's been a bit cloudier here today with a lovely breeze, but still very warm. Luckily I think we are OK for water, Yorkshire has allsorts of underground tanks apparantely!!
    Hope tomorrow goes as well for you.
    Hugs Lisax

    I didn't know Dunelm Mill did a craft section, I will have to have a look because this looks a great stack. The image is so cute - lucky you if it was a freebie. Love Kerry xx

    Isn't it odd, I'd never heard of Dunelm before this week and you're the third person to mention it, Lol!

    Cute image Jules and I'm so glad you gave him a mouth. Now he can shout 'Yeehaa!' as he throws his lasso.
