I pulled out Anna Wight's Crazy for Chickens set from Whipper Snapper Designs. I had the hay bale colored from day one and it was time to add a chick to the top. I had a few chicks to choose from, and this funky little girl stole my heart and makes me smile!
I also did something tonight that I have never done on a card...sew with no thread! I have seen this before on several cards...hey Anna! and I love it...ok, I assume they don't all use a holed template because it is all so uniform. I added a little bit of linen thread from SU to look like the bale is actually tied up. The hay bale and chick are popped up, so I did have to pull out my thin pen and draw the feet in. The patterned paper is Cosmo Cricket's Happy Camper. Have ya'll used this yet? I just love it.. for fall, country, Thanksgiving... it is just an awesome line and super fun on both sides! You guessed it..my cardstock id Bazzill, man, you're good! lol
I am excited to have made my first purchase from Cut@Home and picked up the complete long rectangle set from Spellbinders. Four sets at 40% off, what a deal...I will be keeping a close eye on that mailbox! lol
I have been busy coloring up a storm for the past two evenings and tonight is my tv night...Project Rumway & Top Design. So I have to say 'see ya soon' and have a great night. :) Thanks for dropping in!
this is SO fabulous, Paula! did you color on your kraft c/s? what a fun set!

First time to your site. Referred by Miss Anna at Sassy & Sweet. Your card is a delight! i love the linen thread you used on the bale of hay to tie around it. Very cute touch! Hope it's a compliment to lift the idea on a card I am working on with horse/barn/bale of hay.
Love your site...so I subscribed.
Thanks for the inspiration,
Cynde
