Happy Monday, peeps! I will be busy today as I have stampers coming tonight, but I wanted to squeak in a card for the FMS sketch before it ended! I am not sure if my friend Beth will have received this in the mail yet, if she hasn't, she'll get a sneak peek! Before I explain, let me show you the sketch:
And here's my card; I pulled out some retired goodies for this one:
Remember Hey Chick? I stamped that crazy chicken with some Stazon ink and watercolored her, then stuck her in a little "crate" made from He's the Man DSP. Her "straw" is from the Basket Builder Framelits! I stamped the word "thanks" on a Conversation Bubble diecut and added another one behind it for some contrast:
And here's the inside, using another Conversation Bubbles die:
So, what prompted my chicken-themed thank you? Beth saw the post where Cassidy was learning to separate eggs, so she sent us both these adorable egg separators:
Isn't that the cutest thing? The feet hang on to the edge of the bowl and you just crack the egg over the openings and the white slides right into the bowl! Haven't used it yet, but I can't wait to try it! Thanks again, Beth! And thank you for popping in today--enjoy it and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteLove the egg separator too. Must try and find one in the U.K. as I always manage to break one egg when separating the white from the yolk
LeAnne, I love the Hey Chick set still and your card is so cute and clever with that crate. Beth will be pleased to receive your creation. What a cool egg separator! Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteoh how cute! I just had this very stamp set in my hand a day ago but never used it! I love the hay the chicken is sitting in - it's just too much fun!
ReplyDeleteLOL! A wonderful to say thank you or anything else, LeAnne! This chick always brings a smile to my face!
ReplyDeleteLove the card and the egg separator!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this design is so adorably cute, but the story of the egg separator makes it beyond perfect! Thanks for playing along with us at FMS this week - I'm off to search Amazon for egg separators. LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat way to use the sketch! Love this - so cute!
ReplyDeleteOH, LeAnne! She is my favorite chick of all!! I really need to get that set out again soon! LOve every single bit of this darling card - it might be my new favorite - and OH that chicken wire!
ReplyDeleteDon't tell Cassidy but I use my hand - of course it's impeccably clean! Beth's gift will be far less messy and yes it is so cute!
