CASology and Leo

I'm not sure this is what the CASology team had in mind when the put up this cue word.


What does it make you think of?  The color blue?  A king and queen?  Maybe it's because my birthday is in July and I'm a Leo, but I thought of this.


King of the Jungle, he is.  lol  Leo is cut from the Create a Critter cartridge with his mane embossed with Divine Swirls and inked with Frayed Burlap.  His face is stamped with a Peachy Keen stamp, with Glossy Accents added to the eyes, nose and whiskers.  He actually looks more like a kitten masquerading as a lion but I adore him.

Today is the start of the Highland Festival in our neighboring city.  We are usually at the lake and can't take part but we aren't going this weekend so we're off the the parade.  I love fife and drum corps and bagpipe bands and there will be a lot of them.  They usually have some of the border collies in the parade, too.  Later in the day there will be competitions for the Highland Fling  as well as some traditional Scottish sports, an art fair and lots of food vendors.  This is the 46th year for the festival and it brings large crowds to the area.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Oh wow, yes that's a tough one....I can see why you chose the lion though---the embossing on his mane looks terrific, too!!

That is the cutest lion ever! It is so much fun to see how everyone interprets the cue card.

Bobby, the best thing about the cue word is that it can be interpreted in so many different ways! This lion card is a perfect example of royal -- after all, he is the king of the jungle! Your card is so sweet, made a smile! Hope you enjoy all the festivities this weekend. Thanks for joining in the fun at CASology!

What a brilliant idea - I never thought of the King of the jungle! He's very cute..not fierce in the slightest!

I love this adorable king - great idea to emboss his mane. Enjoy your haggis! (do you eat haggis? I don't, despite having married a Scot!) Thanks so much for playing along with us at CASology this week!
