It's time for a Ho Down

Daisy Doodles Presents  

FREDDY GOES WEST

 SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

You may call it a blog hop to showcase the new set that Jules created featuring Freddy and his pals in

FREDDY GOES WEST.  

I call it a HO DOWN.
Now, our DT coordinator, Rhonda has a knack for looking up interesting facts on the web. This ho down she looked up female cowgirls/famous women of the West. She appointed me this: 
Joanne - Nellie Cashman (1845-1925) - Known as "The Angel of Tombstone", Cashman wandered the frontier mining camps of the 1800s seeking gold, silver and a way to help others.***

If you just got here and haven't seen the Daisy Doodles Creative Challenge blog  that's where the beginning of the hop is, just one hop back! If you have arrived from the DDCC blog then you are ready to partake in the fun and perhaps even win a prize!

Each stop along the way will showcase a letter of the alphabet, posse up and save those letters (all 12), unscramble them to make two words and be sure to tell Jules at the store what you came up with to possibly win these 15 piece stamp set from the Daisy's Digi Doodles Store. Wouldn't you just love to make your favorite cowboy a card or gift tag or goodie bag using this Western theme? If you make a western themed card, plus one other item and join the challenge you can possibly win a GC, also! How bout them thar apples!!!

 This Ho Down will end August 15th at 7 PM EST.

Here's my card and plus one. Enjoy the hop and more details at the end of this post.

 All the images are from Freddy Goes West, and the papers I used are all from the Freddy Papers (except the black cs). There are thirty 12 x 12 papers in the set and if you buy the image set you can pick up the papers for 50% off.

The walls of the mine are covered in gold! Who wouldn't want to be a sheriff in this Gold Mine town?
