Off the rails Scrapbooking challenge

Chipboard!

Pop on over to Off the Rails and see what the team has created.

I used a combination of chipboard and Tim Holtz grungeboard

which is chipboard with an attitude.

Used some older product - My Mind's Eye, Authentique,

and yes, Studio Calico. QK cookie cutter for the heart,

my Martha Stewart punch and washi tape..

I used watercolor on the chipboard because I didn't have enamel

paint that matched. Actually the watercolor didn't come 

close either. So I swooshed it around and mixed.

Several times.

Fortunately you can flip the arrows around.

Love the photo and the title actually popped into my head.

Surprised me. 

LOL.

Grab the bull by the horn

Not sure if its a cow or not. Doesn't matter, the identifiers are hidden. LOL!! This photo looks like its been around the block a few times which makes me glad that I have it nice and secure on some Tim Holtz paper - among others.

Not sure of the back story except cows show up a lot on the Anderson Homestead so I assume that's on of the basics in their life. Haven't seen nor heard if they had chickens, however, the men were avid sportsmen - hunting and fishing. 

Took awhile to post because Mini(mac)me is at the Apple store. It appears the card reader is broken and suckin up energy that resulted in some weird goings-on. I am truly lost without it - especially because ALL my photos are on it and that will be remedied as soon as I have it back in my hot lil paws I shall be sharing them with my desktop mac. 

I had to think what layouts were posted or not and then go back and photograph them again. I remembered this one; sifting through others if any. 

It's Manic Monday - so I'm hoping the mojo floweth!
