The Spotted Chick will return on November 1st! Awwwwk!
Hiya hens!! Well the time has come.... and my new hen house awaits me!! Woo-hoo!! I'm gonna miss you hens sumthin' awful. sigh... You'll miss me too right? Oh, but you don't hafta worry one little bit, cuz da Chicken will be back rarin' to go! I'll even have some pics of the new coop to boot!! Whooopeeee! You have no idea how excited I am over this. It's like a dream come true for me. Ok, I better stop now or I'll start bawlin'! Good grief!
So to leave you today, I thought I'd make ya something that'll kinda remind you of me MOVIN' ON DOWN THE HIGHWAY!! Woo-hoo!! This is Roadster Nikki from Ladybug Crafts Ink. I just LOVE this little gal! She's so cute and classy too! She reminds me of my daughter and her dog Lily. Tee-hee! Ok, so I stamped Nikki onto some Fanboy CS and colored her with my Copics. I matted her with some SU Basic Black CS and stitched around the edges. I sponged a little ink around the edges too and used a few dimensionals to adhere her to this GREAT DP from October Afternoon called Road Map. How perfect is that? I matted the DP with some SU Real Red and then onto some white, and finally onto the SU Basic Black cardbase. I stitched around the edges and finished with this computer generated sentiment and I tied this pretty red saddle stitched ribbon into a cute bubbly bow with a button on top!! Ain't she a doll??
Okee dokee, that's it from the hen house for the next coupla' months. Be sure to leave a cluck below and lemme know whatcha think 'bout Nikki, k? And drop back in the coop any 'ol time you think you may have forgotten what the hen house looks like for a little refresher. Ya know, companee's always welcome! Put yer feet up and stay awhile! LOL!! Now I expect a BIG crowd waitin' on me when I get back on November 1st too, right? Don't you hens leave me, k? Wish me luck!! {{{hen hugs}}}
The Chicken has left the roost!!!
Supplies:
Rubber Stamps - Ladybug Crafts Ink; DP - October Afternoon Road Map; CS - SU Basic Black, Real Red & White; Copics; Ribbon - Papertrey Ink; SU Circle Punch; Creative Memories Circle Punch; Button; Black Glaze Pen

ReplyDeleteOh Jeanie, woe is me! How will I cope when I get home from a really crummy corporate day and I can't log in and see what you have created and laugh at your commentary? Help me! I am doomed. I think I will just come home and go to bed. There just won't be anything exciting to rev me back from the bad place I've been. Will miss you! But will be checking in for your return!
ReplyDeleteThe thought of you leaving us, just breaks my heart.....for 2 months, really? How am I going to get my Christmas cards started? You are my inspiration every morning!....Hurry back...
