Just Monkeying Around

The first of another month so you know what that means?  Doodle Pantry Release.  Here are two cards today using two of the new digital sets that Laurie has designed.  The first is "Lil Cowkids".  It comes with outline and colored images.  I chose to use a colored image because as you probably already know, I have three grandchildren from Ghana and how perfect that Laurie included colored images with darker skin colors.   One of my granddaughters just got a pair of cowgirl boots so how perfect to use this new set for a card.  Just an amusing note: my Ghanaian grandchildren say they are brown and that we are peach colored.  I love the fact that we are not into the black vs white thing.    Color is not a big thing to them or to us.  In fact my 8 year old (bio) and 9 year old (adopted)  granddaughters dressed alike for the first day of school and thought it was so funny because then no one would be able to tell them apart !  Oh, if all of us could be that color blind !

This was a fun card to make.  I used a new banner/pennant die by Verve and a hat die by Cuddlebug.  Flowers were punched out and I added liquid pearls to the centers before putting them on the banner.

  4. I love your cowgirl card!! But the story is even better!
    Several years ago, we lived near a Reserve and lots of Native kids came to our Sunday School. While watching Pocahontas, my kids asked if they had ever met an Indian! Love it!
    The monkey is cute, too!
