Welcome to the Digistamps4Joy COUNTRY theme Blog Hop running from 5 – 8 October 2013 to celebrate World Card Making Day on the 5th October. You have arrived at Ema’s blog in Texas, USA! I have interpreted the country theme as a celebration of the wonderful state of Texas where the skies are blue, grass is always greener on the other side of the fence and the gals are bigger than the horses because in Texas, EVERYTHING is bigger and EVERYONE greets you with a big ol' HOWDY!!

Blog Hop Navigation
If you landed on my page first then just carry on to the next blog Jackie and then from the main blog again till you are back at my blog, OR start at the top at the Digistamps4Joy blog, and work your way though to the final stop (Ursula’s blog). The full hop order is listed on the main DS4J blog.
Here is the card I made for the Blog Hop.
I colored the image with Copic markers. I dabbed the ruffles on Misteri's dress with Stickles in Crystal. I struggled with the clouds and almost gave up on them but I was determined to have clouds so I used this third attempt to make clouds with my American Crafts Galaxy Marker in white. I did use three DigiStamps4Joy to create the scene; however, the Misteri with Apples is the image you could win.
