I come from a family of farmers. So this set is near and dear to my heart. When I first saw it I though of my brother and sister in law and the farm they have. We just returned from a trip to Brooks Oregon where we went to see the "Great American Steam Up". It was on 65 acres of land with thousands of tractors, steam tractors, steam saw mills, old farm machinery, hit and miss engines, and lots of antiques... What a trip we had...
Here is a photo of one of the steam tractors...
If you love farms and animals you will LOVE this set!!! It is darling!!! I loved using it to create these fun cards...
Thanks for stopping by and leaving such great comments. Please visit the rest of the gals...
Happy Hopping,
Jane

Two very cute cards! Love this set!
ReplyDeleteCute cards. I really like the gingham on your first card. The Great American Steam up sound like The Old Threshers Reunion. There is a huge show in Mt Pleasant Iowa every labor day weekend. My husband and I go almost every year to see the old steam tractors. They also have a huge antique swap meet.
ReplyDeleteAwww! Both cards are so cute! Love the country DP and the chicken wire on your first one and I love how you have separated the cow and pig by a fence on your second! My husband would have had a blast at the "Great American Steam Up"!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun looking Country cards!! Terrific creations!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards--I love farms and animals!
ReplyDeleteThis set is certainly up your alley!!! What darling cards. I love the cow and pig voicing their thoughts!
ReplyDeleteLike the photo of the tractor. Like the open die cut used for background. I have a die similar to this. Like the fence animals. Reminds me of the fun I've had at a friend's farm.
