It could actually lead you in many different directions...that's the beauty of a cue word...just take it and run with it!
This week we are sponsored by 7 Kids College Fund...be sure to check out all the details at the CASology blog!
OK, so here's how this went for me. I had so many thoughts for this cue I had a very hard time actually making a card! I adore the "country" style of decorating, and I wanted to go with a French country or folk art country style design. But then my mind went to patriotic thoughts, and I wanted to make a card for Any Hero at Operation Write Home. Then I thought of country music. Then I thought of the rural country landscape and farms and cows and sheep. Goodness, so many options!
I finally made two cards, both using country-style design elements (e.g., gingham, cream/blue, berry wreaths, floral dry embossing, lacy border punch, country hearts, jute, raffia, etc.).

I look forward to seeing what COUNTRY means to you. Be sure to upload your projects by 4:00 p.m. on Sunday to play along! While you're at it, check out the awesome cards this week by our Design Team and two fabulous Guest Designers, too!
These are both gorgeous Judy, I agree so many directions you could go with the Cue word this week
