I Love Cows - Embellishments

[Squeak]

Hello everyone.

I create a couple of embellishments and I wanted to share with you all. This is my first time posting my embellishements and I hope I have created them and zipped them up crorectly. They were done in Photoshop at 300 dpi, so they should come good when you print them. The shapes are basic shapes in Photoshop and the 'Cow' style is a photoshop style from http://www.graphicxtras.com which are All royalty-free, and can be used in any project, commercial or hobby.

I have not created a whole Page Kit, but would love to see these little guys in action! :)

These are cute embellishments! You did a great job. Thanks for sharing!!:)

[Squeak]

Thanks! :D

Let me know if you have any problems, or if you create a page with my using my embellishments. I have more sets to share, I just want to make sure they work like people expect them to.

Howdy! I went and played around with your embellishments on a colored background and the are perfect. I love them!

[Corey]

Cows rule. Moo! :D

[Granny]

Thank you, Squeak...

Black and white cows are my favorite. They give hot fudge, whereas brown cows only give chocolate milk, and white cows give vanilla ice-cream. They are all good, but fudge is the best. So thank you so much. Of course, I'm allergic to chocolate. Still, I can use them online!!!

Welcome to the group!

[Squeak]

Yeah! I am so glad that you all like my cow stuff. And I must have done everything right with the zip file if you all are able to see them! I will upload some later.

PS
I LOVE Chocolate! I think I may end up doing several chocolate themes!

As a kid I worked harvesting cocoa a little bit. Tough work. You go through the jungle splitting open ripe pods as you find them, scooping the wet seeds (beans) into burlap sacks until they get a tiny bit too heavy to carry, then you haul them out on your back. It's usually about 34-35 Celcius with maximum humidity too. :)

The splitting and scooping is done with a short knife and it's a real art actually. Some of those guys split cocoa so fast you can barely see their hands moving.

Adjoined to our house was a special building called a cocoa house. The roof is on wheels. So you can roll it open when it's sunny and roll it shut when it's rainy. So after you haul the cocoa beans out of the bush you take them to the cocoa house and spill them out on the floor, spreading them evenly with a toothless rake. Then begins the process of drying and curing. Turning them several times per day with the rake and opening the cocoa house roof now and again the seeds become ready in a week or two, then it's back into sacks and off to market where the chocolate makers buy them.

I never eat chocolate. Not sure why, I don't really have anything against it or anything. I just never eat candy. There's a "master chocolatier" who lives here in Calgary, makes chocolate by hand. Supposed to be pretty good. Check it out:

1. I wish I was allergic to chocolate.... I love it far too much! So I don't have it near me... otherwise I'd eat the lot..can't stop at a few squares

2. Corey - I want a roof like that ( that opens and closes)

3.Thanks so much for the Cow stuff... I love cows... I could have used this on my farm animals album...oh well I can change my album and still use them hey!
well done.. I hope I can do this sort of thing eventually

Yeah that would be *awesome* on a house. :)

Chocolate makes me sick also. I eat it anyway - somebody has to do it!

Corey, you've had such an interesting life. :)

My sister was allergic to chocolate for years and years and years, until at some point after reaching adulthood she outgrew the allergy.

Being quite philic to chocolate, I can remember my taste buds starting to tingle when someone would mistakenly give her chocolate as a gift. :)

We have a Bernard Callebaut chocolate store here, right next to one of our favorite take out pizza joints. My wife and I always wanted to check it out, but it was always closed by the time we went to pick up pizza...we finally made a special trip this spring, and it was good enough that we went back to get gifts for Easter. Very expensive (!!!) stuff, but the sales lady does a good job of making you feel all fancy and special for being there, so we usually end up buying more than we (or at least I) wanted to. They have some very nice "different" chocolates there, although some of them are a bit sweeter than I care for.

[Corey]

Yeah he's got stores all over the place. You can buy his pre-packaged stuff at Safeway too. Even though I'm not a chocolate lover I admire the guy's dedication. He's an artist.

I've been told that he treats his employees very well too. He's got a very strong brand, I'm sure that's part of the reason.

[Sandy]

My aunt is a big fan of Bernard's...I didn't know it was in Canada. Too cool! I love Purdy's chocolate. Whenever I go west I try to find a Purdy's at the airport.

There's a nice quaint little French chocolate shop about a mile and a half from us here at work, over on Provencher, that makes some nice chocolates. The best thing going for them is that they're made fresh on site.

His shop is remarkably plain, almost startlingly plain actually, but the chocolates were good.

I found out about it when the chocolatier ran for office in our corner of town. He didn't win, but it must have been good for business. :)

[Granny]

Wow, Corey, that's awesome. I read an article recently about how chocolate is made, and it said pretty much what you did. Specially about the hard work that goes into it.

Well, I absolutely love chocolate. But it makes me extremely hyper. Oh, well, maybe someday they will have unleaded chocolate!!!

Thank you for sharing that wonderful experience, Corey.

I love that. Old school. Definitely my style. If I lived there I'd buy from him just to support such a thing. I wish we had more small shops like that here. Al lthe stores here are oversized, overhyped and, objectively, the quality of goods/services in Calgary is the lowest I've seen anywhere in the world (that I've been) but for a few scanty exceptions.

but my friend, Nancy, is nuts about cows, so had to download this one! Matter of fact, I told her she needs to go to the Harvard Illinois Milk Days this coming weekend!
