Life is how you BAKE it!!

Bwah-ha-ha-ha!!! Ok, I was feelin' a little CRAZY when I made this card, so just chalk it up to me being up 'til 1:30AM!!! It's been SUPER cold here in Florida (really, no kidding!), so my hubby and I have been drinking lot's of coffee, hence me stayin' up 'til 1:30!!

Yep, I was a little "WIRED", what can I say?? It all started when I was searchin' for some DP to go with my little oven image and I came across this crazy chicken with a surprised look on his face, and I immediately thought of "SHAKE and BAKE!!" Remember those old commercials? "It's Shake and Bake, and I helped!" ROFL!! Ok, you youngsters probably have no idea what I'm talkin' about, but there used to be a Shake and Bake commercial where this little girl would say, "it's Shake and Bake... and I helped!" She had a Southern drawl like you wouldn't believe, so the word "helped" always sounded more like "haaailp't". Anyway, it was a hoot and this little chicken looks like he must've just heard the commercial too!! LOL!!

Ok, so I started by stamping my Bella's Daisy Oven from Stamping Bella onto some SU Very Vanilla CS and colored it with my Copics. I was trying to achieve the old Harvest Gold color for my oven. OMG!!! Do you guys remember those appliance colors??? Seriously, what were we thinking??? Harvest Gold, Coppertone Brown and Avocado Green, holy cow!! Ok - ok, gotta keep on track.... So I grabbed this DP from October Afternoon's Farm Fresh collection and went from there. Doesn't this fruit paper remind you of old kitchen wallpaper? LOL! I matted all but the chicken paper, with SU Real Red and the chicken paper is matted with some Bazzil brown. I used my SU scalloped border punch along the bottom edge and stitched around the edges of each piece. I even stitched on this cute lace trim to the bottom as well. I thought it had a vintage kitchen feel to it. I cut my image out with my circle Nesties and used my scalloped Nesties for the mat. I added some chalk ink around the edges of the image with the die in place and then added the sentiment and ribbon to finish!! Oh, I almost forgot to tell you what I wrote on the inside... "So a little extra "dough" sure wouldn't hurt!" LOL! I thought it would make a great "pick me up" card with a gift card inside. Ok, that's it for me today. I hope you got a good chuckle out of my CRAZY card. Be sure to leave a comment below and let me know what you think. Have a GREAT Monday!
