Those of you who know me know that I. am. not. a. COUNTRY. girl. But some of you who know me very well know that just once a year, secretly, I AM!
So when I first saw the new Dakota Paper pack, I dismissed it as not for me. And what do I do when I have that thought? I buy the paper pack and it usually becomes one of my favorites. At first it was just the super cute Denim Pocket Stamp "Rugged Dude" shown here:
And then a cabin friend (who knows me very well) sent me pictures of my youngest little guy dressed up for Western Weekend at the cabin. And realized that Dakota really would be the perfect paper pack to scrapbook these pictures. But there it is in colour, if you look really closely, out of focus - me, in pig tails, denim shirt and all. A Country Girl! Watching my gorgeous little guy and his friends dance to great Music of the "Hong Kong Cow Boy". This guy is amazing, for country music.
So I came up with this layout for my September Hostess Club this week. I hope the ladies will forgive me this little slip into the world of boots, horses, denim and hay.
The layout is from CTMH's newwest pattern book "Make it from your Heart", pattern #9.
Anyway, I bought the Workshop on the go, because I love the stamp set that comes exclusively with the WOG you can see all the Stamped images are from that. Or check out the latest CTMH idea book to view.
Finally I took black cardstock, misted it with a combination of chocolate ink and pearl paint to give it a glittery almost hammered metal look. I glued the letters to the coordinating CTMH chipboard letters and distressed the edges with our files . . .looks a beat up and Country to me. Now I've just gotta finish the other facing page for my own scrapbook with the remaining evidence, err pictures.
Hope Hostess Club enjoys it as much as I did creating it . . .now back to my regularly scheduled, non-Country programming!
