COWBOY day...

One of my daughter's most memorable days from Kindergarten was 

"Cowboy, or Cowgirl" Dress Up day...Mostly because I 

gave her freckles with my eyeliner and she thought it was the coolest thing!

I have so many freckles and I hate them, it makes for very uneven skin tone,

especially after 40...so I was told recently by someone in the business of dermatology...

Thanks for that one!  

Anyway, didn't give Sam freckles but he wore a little pleather vest circa 1978,

that was part of an old Halloween costume of Shawn's, so cute, and the red

bandanna that my Dad always wore cutting the grass...but old and silly

but very meaningful, at least to us...Oh, and the crappy Styrofoam hat I bought from 

the Dollar Tree! :)  An eclectic, not as so much Urban Cowboy!

This was a layout inspired by the current ScrapFit Workout #79 which 

is to use washi tape in new and creative ways...I do love Challenges,

but some really do make me do things I wouldn't have thought about before, 

or would have thought about, just never done!  And I am pleased with the turnout 

and think it is a great technique to use again!  I would say that makes 

for a good workout!  Here is the link to their blog:

I laid out several different tapes on a diagonal on some plain cardstock

and then punched squares out of it...There are so many possibilities for this, 

making gift tags, photo mats.  It is like my own personally designed 

pattered paper, but better because it is so versatile, it can be removed if 

crooked and there is so much on a roll, I don't feel that hoarding sensation!

Speaking of hoarding, I had been saving this alpha sticker sheet from Crate Paper 

from the Farmhouse collection and I could NOT find a good place for that

font of alphas, not the big one anyway, so it finally found a home on Cowboy Day!
