Some good news and bad....


Let's start with da good.... Meet Robyn! Isn't she just the cutest little girl? Awww, lookit that lil' face...... Don'tcha just wanna squeeze her, she's so stinkin' cute?? LOL!! This is another FABULOUS image from none other than Ladybug Crafts Ink! Robyn has her own lil' collection too! I had WAY too hard a time tryin' to figure out which cute image I wanted to get! *sigh* Decisions - decisions..... Ahhh, the life of a stamper!! Tee-hee!!

I started by stamping Robyn onto some Fanboy CS and colored her with my Copics. I cut her out with my circle Nesties and sponged some chalk ink around the edges. This DP is from Bella Blvd. and I used my SU scalloped border punch along the vertical edge separating the two DP's. I love the bright colors in this collection. So fun for a birthday card, don'tcha think? Next, I added some of these Turquoise Epoxy Dots to the upper right hand corner and some Glamour Dust to the candle flame for a little bit of sparkle. To finish, I stamped the sentiment (also from LCI) and tied this AWESOME twill ribbon Kerry sent me, into a cute bubbly bow! Ain't she GREAT? Be sure to pop on over to Ladybug Crafts Ink and check out the whole Robyn collection and while you're there, check out all the cute images Kerry just added for the holidays. Oh that reminds me, gotta get working on those Christmas cards.... Yikes!!

Now onto da bad news.... well, it's actually good news in the long run but bad news for now. My hubby and I are embarking on a home remodeling project beginning in September. Now what's so exciting about that you ask??? Well, the remodel INCLUDES my craft room!! Woo-hoo! Yep, the Spotted Chick's gettin' herself a new hen house! Aawwwwwwk!! Yep, this hen's pretty excited 'bout the whole thing. But in order for us to do this, I won't be able to make any cards with my room tore apart and everything in boxes. Soooooo, I will be taking a little hiatus from cardmaking beginning September 1st and if all goes as planned, I'll be back on November 1st with pictures of my new coop! Woo-hoo! So until then, I hope da hens understand and will wait for me.... pretty pleeeeease??? LOL!! Free Smiley Courtesy of www.millan.net {{{hen hugs}}}

Ok, that's it from the OLD hen house today! Tee-hee!! Be sure to leave a cluck below and lemme know whatcha think of Robyn, k? I'll see ya back in the coop on Wednesday for another "bewitching" Halloween card. Bwah-ha-ha-ha!!

Supplies:
Stamps & Epoxy Dots - Ladybug Crafts Ink; Copics; CS - SU Whisper White, Bazzil Teal; Twill Ribbon; Glamour Dust; Nestabilities

  27. Hey Jeanie,

    Another wonderful card! Beautifully colored and spruced... I am so bummed that you will be flying under the radar for a bit, I will miss your daily posts but if you are going to get a new craft room in the process well I am willing to wait for you to post your first card from your new space...seriously, I wish you and hubby all the best as the "mission" progresses. Do keep us posted if you can.
    Thanks for sharing your wonderful creations with us.
    Blessings,
    Terri D.

  28. So you told me loooooong ago about your little leave of absence and I should be well used to the thought of not seeing your gorgeous work by now, but I'm still not! I am going to miss it SO MUCH, so please hurry on back, where else am I going to get my daily fix like this super super cute card here.
