Another burf-day!

.... and they just keepa comin' don't they? B'fore ya know it, here comes another! Shooweee, they come around faster than a chicken on a June bug! LOL!!

Ok, so I wanted to make a funny birthday card today, and I decided to use this little girl who don't look none too happy! She kinda looks like somebody just stole her cookie don't she? Yep, I'd be some kinda upset if somebody took my cookie too! Uh-huh, don't be messin' with da hen's sugah now! Bwah-ha-ha-ha!!

So I stamped my image called "Jill is Two" from Stamping Bella onto some Bella's Bestest Paper and colored her with my Copics. I cut her out with my circle Nestabilities and sponged some ink around the edges. I matted her with this Cosmo Cricket DP from the Early Bird collection cut out with my new Nestabilities Label Three set. I just LOVE the shape of these dies. It reminds me of a circle and square mat all in one. Super cute!!

So lemme tell you 'bout how I got this set..... So I come home from work last week and there's this package in my mailbox. Woo-hoo!! I SO LOVEEE packages!! So I immediately tear it open, and paper bits are just a flyin!! (Note - never send the chicken a package you don't want me to open! Pffft, whoever heard of such a thing!) So I see this die set inside and I know I've been wanting it like FOREVER and a day, but I can't remember ordering it. Well, the ol' noggin ain't what it used to be so I'm thinking maybe I ordered it a long time ago and it's been on backorder or something. But then the 'ol brain cells kick in gear and I read the packing slip, and the buyer is none other than my BFF from South Africa Meahni!!! Awwwwww, now ain't that just the suh-weetest thing ever??? She had it shipped directly to me!! I had seen her use this set on her blog many times and I had commented on getting it but never did. Well of course, I HAD to break it in straight away and use it on today's card! Woo-hoo!! Thank you SO MUCH Meahni! You're the BESTEST!!

Ok, so I matted the DP with some SU Real Red CS and then again on SU Natural Ivory. I used my SU scalloped border punch along the edges of the vertical center piece but it's not very visable in the photo. To finish, I tied this pretty saddle stitched ribbon into a cute bubbly bow and attached the sentiment to the image with a tiny red brad.

Oh, I wanted to remind the hens that today begins this week's Tantalizing Tooosdays over at Stamping Bella. Be sure to check it out. Nothin like a good sale to brighten a hen's day!
