This image is 'A Little Bit of Country' by Sarah Kay and I really love it!! Hope you do too.... this little lady has done very well for herself at the country barn dance - as she has copped off with The Sheriff!!!! LOL The wooden fence background is supposed to be broken btw!! you can make up your own story of how it got broken !!!! LOL and not sure if it quite works? but hey ho - it's how I envisaged it when designing the card. I have used 3D foam pads to lift the wooden panel.
I was determined to have a picket fence on this card. But this fence went in and out of the rubbish bin three times!! LOL The fence itself is from a digital Raspberry Road set which I printed and cut out. It took ages to cut out though!!! never again!! Next month I am buying a picket fence die!! I can't order any more this month I have gone way over budget!! Tut Tut!! Not sure what came over me but I've been buying here, there and everywhere - I felt I needed cheering up!! and yes it did the job!! hee hee!! 
but I have banned myself from any shopping for 2 weeks!!

I got into big trouble with the family yesterday (Friday). I thought I'd try out a new shop for some crafting goodies. Well the Courier knocked up the whole family at 7.30am!! Now I got up really quick - in my PJ's - but the stupid man didn't allow one second even to get to the door and was like ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer on the porch (you get the picture) - So the whole house (who are ill ) was like 'what the ? is going on'
I tell you - if I was a bloke, I would have smacked the courier guy right in his noggin!!! LOL
Lovely and peaceful today - dull, rainy and miserable again but perfect for crafting or staying in and watching TV!!
Anyway, hope you like this little card as much as I enjoyed making it !!

Hi Sue, this is soooo gorgeous!! The picket fence was worth the hassle as it looks fab! Love the little sherrif's badge.
I have to make sure I get to the door super quick when the postie brings any stash as he folds everything in half to shove it in the letter box!

Sue Sue Sue you are like a breath of fresh air! I love reading your tales lol, I'm guessing that the courier was run out of town by this little guy in your card! Its AWESOME and I have to know where your sheriffs badge came from its the cutest little thing! Fab colouring, amazing details, funny stories all thats missing is what was in your new package! I too have done nothing but shop lately, it cheers me up no end! I'm having a stampin up moment lately and am thinking of maybe being an agent!

Hi Sue
This is gorgeous.
Love the image and cannot believe you have the patience to cut that fence out .. .. and even put it in the bin a few times!!!
LOL!!! I haven't heard the phrase "copped off" for ages.
I am still chasing my tail. Just waiting for my printer to finish so taking the chance to have a few blog visits!
Love Jules xx
Just doing some catch up visiting here Sue! Love this card - Sarah Kay is one of my faves I love the 1st kiss one and this is similar. This is just one gorgeous card Sue love the colours and the fence and that cute little sherifs badge. I just had a sort out this afternoon and found a pack of 100 Bazzill cardstock and a kit of HOTP papers and brads (and they're lush!) that I bought in 2009! think I must have hidden them cos I'd already bought too much and even hid them from myself til now!! hugs Judith x
Love your card Sue the broken fence is a great idea lets our imaginations run riot. I don't know about your delivery at that early hour though bit early for most folk, but as I live in a rural area where it is sometimes after 3pm before we get our post you can imagine how frustrating it is waiting on a parcel of goodies to arrive .Ithink we are the last stop for most couriers not the first. Hope the family are all well soon take care hugs Meg.
Such a beautiful card, I love the image and the way you have coloured it and the way that you have done the fence is just brilliant, love it
Lindsay xx
This card is also very cute and the card "Flower garden" is very lovely.
The icecream on the Birthday card is very cool and the flower is gorgeous on the same card.
That´s all for now. :)
Hope you get some sun today!
Hugs!
Oh my Sue I bet its was so funny to see though you trying to get to the door before he rang again!! Hope the goodies where nice though and you had lots of fun with them! I hate that especially when I order with plenty of time and the silly parcel is delivered when hubby is at home!! not like in the week I have time to hide it!! lol
Love the card you really where so patient to cut out the fence and it really does look perfect on the card so glad you added it and love the missing wall I wonder!!!!
Hope you are well and the family are getting better love Chanelle xx
Just me again :-) Love the LO of this one and that image is tooo cute! I just got myself the new "Happy Couple" Sarah Kay image, so I'll be making a wedding card very soon....
Stunning card fab colours and image. Thank you for sharing it with us at osaat this week. Hugs Nikki DT
