Texas Tuesday for Brave Girls

Hey y'all - it's Texas Tuesday! And today I made a card about being brave. I think my one little word for 2011 is going to be "brave" - I have a lot of stuff I need to be brave about this year - stuff like taking on new challenges, my son starting kindergarten (*sob*), me turning 40...!!! So yup, brave it is.


I played with one of my favorite Unity stamp sets ever for this card - Brave Girl Boots. They partnered with the fabulous brave girl herself, Melody Ross for this one. The color palette came from my favorite challenge, The Play Date Cafe!


Mine turned out rather pinkalicious. But I'm diggin' it. I wish you could see those boots in real life, I cut them out & popped them up, and then coated them with a thick layer of Glossy Accents. While it was wet I sprinkled a dab of glitter over it. So pretty!

Now make sure and check out what my Texas Tuesday friends are up to today, it sounds like EVERYONE played this week, yay!! (Jennifer's will be coming a little later in the day.) They are listed over there on my sidebar. And now I'm off to check out what they created myself!

Happy Stamping,

    Yee Haw! Love the pinks and I know what you mean about brave. I have the middle one starting kindergarten this year, will have one in middle school, elementary school and preschool/daycare. I have a few years before the big 40, but I hear that it can definitely treat you well.

    Great card, the cowboy boots work well with pinks/browns.

    I love it. I've been seeing a lot of sewing on your cards lately. Is this in any way connected to dusting off the sewing machine for some capes?

    Libby, I absolutely love this card! What a great fun combo and all that pink makes me think of Susan Koman. This would be a great way to say to someone who survived cancer- "way to go, you were brave!" :)

    LOVE those boots!! What an awesome card!! Now about the brave thing...ya, the kindy thing will be a tough one. It was rough on us, there were so many tears and sobs and "don't go's" and then my son shushed me and said I was embarrassing him! LOL!
    Now, the 40 thing I can't help you with. I've been 39 four times and don't have a clue what turning 40 is all about! ;D
