The best way to spread Christmas cheer...

... is singing loud for all to hear!  Tee-hee!  Are you smiling?  Smiling's my FAVORITE!  LOL!  Needless to say, "Elf" is my all time favorite Christmas movie!  Lil' Chick and I sit and watch it every year together.  Love, love, love it!  

So, when I saw this sentiment in a stamp, it's was a given I was gonna buy it.  

I stamped the little girl and bear onto some Neenah Classic Crest CS and then paper pieced the girl's coat and hat and the little bear's fur.  I colored the skin tone, dress and added some shading all with Copics.  I stamped the candy cane stripe on the card base and finished by rounding the corners and tying on some red & white bakers twine secured with a button and bow!

Super easy card and I LOVE it!  Lil' Chick did too!  LOL!  Okee dokee, that's it for me today.  I hope you hens have a Merry Monday and I'll see ya back in the hen house real soon!  {{{hen hugs}}}

Happy Birthday LouLou!

Mornin' hens!  Today is my good friend LouLou's birthday!  She has an adorable four legged friend named Ginger so when I saw this stamp in the dollar bin at Michaels, I knew I had to have it for her birthday card.  

This was a super simple card to put together and I thought it turned out adorable! I stamped the image onto some Neenah Classic Crest CS and colored it with Copics.  Then I cut the image out and adhered it to the card base using a few foam dimensionals.  I added some grounding using my Prismacolor pencils. Then I used a curved edge die and cut the bottom edge of the balloon from some polka dot DP.  I adhered this piece with foam dimensionals as well, then I trimmed the top edge of the balloon to match the top edge of the card.  

 I free hand cut a triangle and attached it to the bottom of the balloon and attached some string to it and to the pup's paw too!  To finish, I stamped the sentiment and added some faux stitching.

That's it for me today!  I hope you have a GREAT day!  {{{hen hugs}}}
