I have a fun, interactive card for you this week featuring stamps and dies from two of my favorite companies, both near and dear to my heart: SugarPea Designs & The Cat's Pajamas
Whatever The Weather
Barn To Be Wild
Peek-A-Boo Frames
Each of the farm animals is watercolored in this week's Color Throwdown Challenge colors - yellow, purple and blue. Have you heard the poem, The Purple Cow? I remember reading it in our ancient set of Childcraft: The How & Why Library waaay back in my younger years and there was an accompanying picture of a purple cow. Growing up on a dairy farm in WI, I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. Anywho, that's where the inspiration for my card started. Oh my gosh, I just searched and found it! Anyone else remember this?

YES! YES! YES! I remember that purple cow - and the poem! That's from the Childcraft books my parents bought for us (along with encyclopedia Britannica); at least, that was our source. And I'm proud to say that with the possible exception of some Robert Frost and e.e. cummings, that's the only poem I can recite from memory all these years later. Come to think of it, I "cursed" my child with that too. Speaking from experience, I can safely say it will never completely leave his brain. Gotta share this picture you posted with my siblings. We all share the memory of that purple cow! Thanks for the trip down memory lane - and now that poem won't leave my head alone for at least a couple days!
