Bird brain you'd better not pout

Here is a card I made for the From the Heart SOTM image and used a sentiment from TLC.  I stitched the top portion of the card.  I just love this image because this is how I feel finishing the last touches of the gifts.

Merry Christmas Neigh-bor

Kris at Imagine That! came out with some wonderful Christmas and winter holiday images.  One being this wonderful horse image.  I grew up in the country with my Father being a farmer, and I always wanted a horse, but my Dad always said "No".  For some reason, I am always drawn to horses, maybe I had them in a previous life.  For this card I used the sentiment on the inside of the card.  I distressed the paper to give it a more rough and western look.

oops I was looking at the paper upside down

I don't know about you, but I am always trying to decide what to wear during the holiday season.  Paulette at TLC has a wonderful promo set going on right now, and I just had to make a sample using this sentiment.  This card is using a background from Bearly Mine so I kept it CAS.
