I was raised with horses, cattle and pigs and when I married the first time it was into the same cowboy lifestyle. I began riding horses at the age of 2 and I can still handle a rope and herd cattle. Unfortunately I no longer have a horse. My dad was an old time cowboy who loved to Rodeo and work with ornery horses. My favorite animal is the horse. To me it's the most beautiful animal God created. There is nothing quite like the wonderful smell of a sweaty horse after a long ride or the feel of their soft nose against your neck. Well, unless they just blew snot on you! lol
I found the inspiration for this card from Michelle Zindorf, an amazing rubberstamping guru or should I say Queen! What an inspiration she is! I am currently working with Michelle to have her come to Springfield Missouri to teach one of her amazing brayer classes. Stay tuned because later this summer I will share the details.
Here is a fabulous card I made using her techniques. I plan to create about 24 more to put in my card keeper for future use.
Would you like to buy this card? Or purchase several to give out to your friends and family? Email me. I create cards to sell. Just Click on the "Email Gwen" Tab in the left column of the blog, under my photo, let me know how many you want and I will reply within 12 hours.
I still have my cowgirl decor in my home and I love it. It's my heritage and I would have it no other way! And I am going to frame this card and hang it on my wall!
Join my Card classes~ Every Wednesday at 10:30 am to 12 we create a card for only $5.00 and for those who can only come in the evenings we have the same class on Thursday evenings from 7-8:30pm. But, you MUST contact me to register for the class because my classes fill up quickly.
Scrapbook Club Starting soon watch my newsletter for details, we need 3 more people to sign up.

Not only is this club fun, but we share ideas, friendships, tips, and "create pages" once a month.
I will be sending out a new class list soon, if you aren't already on my email newsletter list, you will want to be, because there will be "Classes to Go" or better known as "Class by Mail" for those of you who cannot personally attend, you can take the class anyway!
The classes to go will have pre cut kits included the price~ just like they are here in my Studio when you attend class, and you will be given a supply list with your kit and a tutorial.
The people who commented for the blog rewards are having their names put in a hat later today and I will announce the winner on Friday! So, if you haven't done so, add your comment to that post to win 4 individual FREE stamps!
