Country Loving

Hope you are having a good weekend, coping with some of the strange weather that most of us have been having!  Luckily for us, we had some much needed rain this morning, and that has helped bring some relief from the scorching heat.  Funny weather all around, this year.  Some of you have the heat, and others have the floods....where's the happy medium?


For today's card, I've gone with a summer theme and this adorable Love Cows image from Just Inklined.  We live in the country, and the neighbouring farms had cows when we first moved here.  When vacationing last summer, in Cornwall (England), we could see cows from our back window....so peaceful and serene, but not once was I able to catch them in this pose! (lol)

Supplies used:
Paper from Basic Grey - Out of Print 6x6 pad
Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts
Dies - Spellbinders Inverted Scalloped Circles,  
Magnolia Lovely Fence 
and Cheery Lynn Exotic Butterfly


A few challenges that I'll enter:

Totally Papercrafts - Here Comes Summer
Basic Grey Challenges - Fun in the Sun
Wild Orchid Challenge - Punch It Out

  4. A beautiful summer card Joyce and a fun image.
    Yep weather is awful here, luckily we haven't had the real floods and problems, but my back garden is very boggy and wet. The upside is that everything is lush and green and easy to weed lol.
    Hope you and Bruce are ok.
