Delores....Great card that we all can relate to! Grin

Tanya...Love the St Patty's day, good thought it's coming soon! and it took me a while to notice the background was made up of green beers lined up Roll Eyes

Love it!...and thanks for the compliment

Doreen,

to be appreciated by 'boomers' everywhere

Tom....I do hope you enjoy a warm climate Wink

Can't wait to see what folks come up with for the cat, which was at a gas station in Virginia on a very hot August day last year. I did not get too close, he was very relaxed..... yet had an unsettling demeanor Grin

Pamela, Love this image! It's so cat like. "What? Work? Why ruin such a perfect sun chair?"

Wher'd you find this beautiful tractor? Looks like a 30's or 40's Massey Ferguson. Just kidding, I love tractors but don't know one from another, except maybe for a Deere, can't miss the green and yellow! Actually think this one now that I look at it again, is a Catt-a-nappellar!

Oh and Doreen - Love what you did with it! I so want that program! And Tom, you must have a cat or have had them. Great humor again!

Those Dobie cards were awesome guys! Wish i hadn't been working the last 48 hours and had gotten in on that.

Tom, I guess we can submit more than one image for all of us to play with?

Thanks guys, we'll see.

Randall, I used Photoshop CS5...the key to using filters in photoshop is to use them together, change opacity and layer them, paint some on and so on.

Hi everyone

Just popping in to see if anyone could make that 'friendly' kitty into something....and I see you did!

Doreen, I love your take on it Grin

The style you applied reminds me of a retro agricultural billboard or advertisement that you might find in a rural farming community. The retro look works with the retirement theme I could see it striking a chord with folks.

and Tom, you are the master of family album photograph presentation and what your mind comes up with never ceases to amaze Wink

you had me smiling much with this one

Randall thanks for the compliment on the photo, he definitely has that don't even think about moving me look! I believe you are right in the Catt-a-nappellar brand Grin

It really is fun to see the different styles and approaches each of us use, no cookie cutter cards here!
Pamela

Alright my fellow artists, here's my contribution for the day. I've already submitted a couple of creations from this image, so no fair peeking. Curious to see what you all come up with and as per the rules of the game, please put them up at your stores. This image is open with rights to all! Have at it and when I get back from work a bit later, I expect to laugh, cry and be somewhat impressed!

You all have a wonderful, soul-enriching Sunday!

Best always, Randy

Hi Randall....no pressure I see!

Just a note not all of us are Facebook folks and I for one cannot access your image cry

Any chance you could use another way like Tinypic?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I try to copy the links there at Tinypic and nothing? What do I need to do?

You have to 'preview' your post before the links will show live and you can test them, they do not show live in the edit box. If that has any bearing.
