Something Special to Share -- and a Giveaway

Howdy, folks!
Paper Smooches releases their newest set called "Buckaroo" soon, and I am here today to help promote this sweet set!  This is the ninth stamp set from their "Kismet collection".  This stamp set will be available to purchase at midnight on July 14th.  You will be able to find it HERE

Here's the card I made to share with you today...

:o)
This card was some serious fun to make.  I used 5 stamps from the new set -- that adorable smiley face is included in the set!  How cute would a smiling cactus be, eh?  The images and the cute sentiment were coloured with pencil crayons, then I fussy cut and attached them with my can't-craft-without-'em foam squares.  I made the little tab for the smiley face out of a small strip of canvas.  That awesome denim paper is from October Afternoon, and I hand-stitched it with embroidery floss.
These stamp images are a lot of fun to colour, and it's nice to make a masculine card that's also fun & cute -- this stamp set is great for that!

I have one "Buckaroo" stamp set to give away to one lucky person!  You have until midnight on July 15th to leave a comment [I have Comment Moderation turned on, so your comment will not appear right away].  I will post the winner here on Monday, July 16th!
