Just Chicken In... {The Kraft Journal}

Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone!!!

It is time for a new challenge over at The Kraft Journal!

This week we want to see all your 

Clean and Simple 

or otherwise known as CAS creations

(a personal favorite of mine....as you may know from many of my cards)

As you may know from previous posts..we raise chickens~ hence the name of my blog :) and I am always on the lookout for chicken stamps....well I found this adorable older set from 

 Stampin Up~Best of Cluck 

but had the hardest time purchasing it....they were going for CRAZY prices on eBay so every time I was close to winning the set I was always outbid :(

Well I finally won it and this is the first time I am using it ....

So I hope you like my card!!

And I even finished off the inside....

What do you think.....Such a cute chicken right????

Since it is CAS, there were not a lot of extras added so I  linked all the products I used from The Kraft Journal below in the supplies used.

I could see making these in bulk and packaging them up for a quick hello to send to a friend.

It was super simple to put together and really what too the most time was the stitching and waiting for my stickles to dry!!

Supplies Used:

Paper~ Brown Kraft Cardstock, Bazzill Vanilla, Black

Stamps~ Stampin Up~ Best of Cluck

My Creative Time~Spring Chicken Backgrounds

Ink~ Vintage Photo Distress Ink, memento tuxedo black

Other~ Sewing machine, stickles (yellow, xmas red, frosted lace)

And here are a few pictures of "my girls"

The leader of the bunch.....she loves to follow us around  

digging for bugs....what they do best....

Bath time....rolling in the dirt

Well that is all I have for today....Thanks so very much for popping in to say hello!

Have a GREAT Monday everyone!!

A La Card Monkey~ Challenge # 88 Thinking of You

Good Morning everyone!

If I don't get back tomorrow I want to wish you all a VERY Merry Christmas!

I hope Santa brings you everything you want :)

I have a non Christmas card to share today.

I was asked to be a Guest Designer over at

 A La Card Monkey for Challenge #88

Here is the sketch that my card is based upon.

I used all PTI card stock

SU Painted Garden Stamp Set

SU ink in Burgundy and Mellow Moss

and ribbon from my stash

The sentiment is a dollar bin find which has to be one of my favorites!!

I would love for you all to check out all the other Designers cards and play along

Have a GREAT day and night!

Just For You~ Simple Stampin Up Inspired Cards

Good Morning Bloggers!

I have a quick and very easy Stampin up card set I made to share.

This is not my idea...I actually got it from when I was organizing my stamps and searching for ideas.

I used Stampin Up ink~

Orchid Opulence

Mellow Moss

Real Red

Positively Pink

and

The Painted Garden Stamp set

My sentiment was a dollar bin find that just fit perfectly :)

Since this was such an easy project I ended up stamping 20 cards in a matter of minutes!!!

Now I have a stash of "just for you" cards for those last minute thank yous and such!

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT day!
