Today all of the Design Team members are previewing Claire's 2 wonderful new Western theme sets - Way Out West and Back in the Saddle. I got so excited about these 2 sets I made 3 cards to share today!
This wonderful woodgrain background stamp and the sherrif's badge are from Way Out West. The wanted poster, sentiment and cowboy on the horse are from Back in the Saddle.
That little cowboy on the wanted poster is my son, Josh, when he was just 2 1/2 (he's now 33!) He always loved wearing hats; cowboy, fireman, spaceman, policeman, any kind of hat. (and when he grew up - he enlisted in the Army!) In this picture he also has on a Darth Vader cape from that year's Halloween costume. I'll save this card for his birthday in September.
For my next card I wanted to show that you don't have to go all 'Yee Haw' cowboy to enjoy these sets. Here I just used one of the sentiments from Back In the Saddle to make a pretty thank you card. The sentiment fit nicely inside this Spellbinders tag. I sponged the tag before taking it out of the die.
The Webster's Pages patterned paper matches the tag perfectly don't you think?? I wove 2 pieces of wrinkled seam tape through the tag and tied a bow. To finish it off I added two little gems to the scrolls in the sentiment.
And my last peek is about as CAS as you can get! This fun guitar and sentiment are from Back in the Saddle. I dry embossed a rectangle Nestability for the frame, stamped the guitar on a scrap, sponged the edges and adhered it inside the frame with foam tape.
I hope you're excited about these new WMS sets - they'll be available on March 1 at the WMS Store.

These are great, Julia! I had the same idea of using a photo w/that stamp, but I don't have any of my kids nearly as cute as your little guy. ;-)
Such a fabulous collection of cards Julia! Love the lil' WANTED Outlaw! Too cute :)
wow I love the versitility you've shown here - I WAS thinking that cowboy stamps weren't for me, but now I've changed my mind!!!!
JULIA!!!!! these are pure magic!!! LOVE that wanted poster, what a cutie pie your wee dude was, and I'm sure still is!!! Terrific samples, love how you have used these!! Big hugs my friend!! Thank you!!!!
EEEK! Love these, Julia! Did you alert Bertie and Gertie and Pat and THE Buckle Man about these sets?! I think they are going to love them :) Awesome projects...that Happy Trails one is too cool!
Amazing Julia. Your wanted card is just how I imagined to use that image. What a cute little cowboy Josh was and I'm so happy to see his little picture on this wanted poster...LOL. He will love it when he sees it.
Thanks for the tip about the sentiments from your Much Obliged card fitting into that round tag. Love that paper and how great those ribbons accents your card.
And your Happy Trails card...the guitar is the perfect image for this sentiment because every time I thing of that phrase, it reminds me of that song. Awesome job on all of your creations.
I love them all! I can't wait to get these!
I love, love the card with the picutre of Josh - so sweet!! I can imagine this for lots of little (and not so little) boys!!
So nice to see how you can also make such a CAS design and the thanks card - brilliant.
So sweet Julia! Your wanted card is so precious and wonderful showcasing of all of them!!

Julia, these are fantastic! What a perfect picture to use for that sentiment - that is really a great card! Love the classiness of your second card, that is really a fantastic simple design. Amazing job, GF!
