Giddy Up!

This week's challenge over at the Phindy's Place Challenge Blog is a wonderful sketch furnished by Anne-Marije. I absolutely love working from a sketch and especially hers. I am always amazed how the same sketch can produce cards that truly are different. The difficulty for me is always narrowing down my choice of images. All of Phindy's images are fabulous, and I can't imagine not using one for the challenge. My problem is finding enough time to enter more than one card. Possibilities are endless.

For this card, I chose this adorable image called "Giddy Up". My grandson is all about cowboys, but he has a huge stuffed horse that he rides. When I see this image, I see one of my nephews. His parents own a riding stable, and he didn't much care for real horses. He did have a stick horse whose name was Broomtail, a most appropriate name, and he rode that horse all the time.
