Hanging With My Peeps at the 4 Crafty Chicks!


Are you ready to play with the 4 Crafty Chicks?  We are so excited this week because not only is the Golden Egg award up for grabs but this week is our CRAZY EGG challenge!  Most months only have four Thursdays but when there are five Thursdays we want to celebrate by offering a PRIZE!!  Isn't that exciting?  So, to commemorate our very first Crazy Egg challenge, we want to see a card or project with a chick or bird on it...makes sense, right?

So, I went through my stamps and discovered that I don't have very many sets with birds or chicks on them.  I did find one that, *shhhhhh....*, had never seen ink and I knew it would be perfect.  I LOVE Stacey's Curtain Call Color Challenge colors this week:


And Jen's Sketch For You To Try was a match made in heaven:


So I rotated it a bit and...

Recipe - Stamps: Spring Fling (Pink Paislee), sentiment from Hangin' With My Peeps (MFT)  Paper: Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Sahara Sand, SU! DSP  Ink: Versafine Onyx Black  Accessories: Clear embossing powder, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, paper piercer, Flower Vines embossing folder, Real Red polka dot ribbon

I had so much fun making this card - it totally makes me smile.  :)  It's pretty basic - just a bit of embossing & some paper piecing...  I hope you will take some time to play along with us at the 4 Crafty Chicks ~ we have been so thrilled with all of the participants in our first month of challenges and we can't wait to visit your blogs and see what you create for us.  :)

See you later!
