Sandra and I took a little trip (if you can call 2400 kilometers little) down to Phoenix.  I needed to get my car down there  before the snow flew as it is strictly a summer car and since our respective partners were working (Ha Ha) off Sandra and I went.  We had a fabulous time in Utah taking in Canyonlands and Arches National Parks as well as the scenic drive through the Monument Valley.

That trip is my excuse for not having posted to the blog in over a week.  Today, though, I wanted to post a couple of cards that I am very excited about.  I could hardly contain myself when I saw the new release from Neat and Tangled.  They came out with a stamp and die set entitled More Cowbell!  Yup straight from one of the most famous skits ever on Saturday Night Live!  My three sons, in their younger years, would quote this skit often and  for them, just about every situation that arose in our house called for “more cowbell”.

Two of my three sons have birthdays coming up, so they are definitely going to have “more cowbell” on their Birthday cards.

Supplies:  Neat and Tangled Cowbell stamp and die set, Avery Elle Wonky Stitches die set, Karen Foster patterned paper, Tim Holtz Remenent Rubs,  Recollections cardstock, Stampendous Silver embossing powder,  Emerald Creek Craft Company Onyx Frost embossing powder, Unknown glitter paper. Photoplay Mad for Plaid patterned paper, Unknown wooden musical notes, Pico embellisher in clear, Hero Arts Ombre pigment ink, and Scor tape.
