Grab your pitchforks and your overalls because this hoe down is about to begin!!

My nieces have horses and a pig, as well as chickens, dogs and a cat. They live in the country and are also part of a horse club. Every year they are in the Sarpy County Parade and we go watch.

I thought this would be the perfect layout for today's blog hop!

I followed this sketch from Let's Sketch where I am a DT Member. We have weekly challenges HERE if you want some motivation to get your photos scrapped!

I used my cameo to design my title and border. I added a pig (trimmed off the piglet), a horse and the rope frame.

I welded 6 horse heads together to create a border for each page.

I cut the horse out of brown paper and inked the edges. I cut the pig out of black cardstock and used my white gel pen to add some details to her.

I saved the negative space from my title to use as a template. I ran the letters through my 1" Xyron.

I stuck down the letters in my template. I rubbed the letters a bit to get the extra adhesive off (I call them glue buggers).

Once the letters are stuck down, I gently peel up the template.

And the title is on!

I added a bit of journaling. My niece Sophie was interviewed by a local tv celebrity - Aunt Molly and Friends TV Show. Emily kept trying to eat the hay backdrop!! I was very proud of Sophie as she really did not seem excited to give an interview!

I tied a bit of twine around the horse borders. I really like how this one turned out!

Thanks for stopping by. I love horses! What is your favorite Barnyard Animal?
