Howdy!

Howdy hens! Here's a little TKT reminder and some more inspiration for those KRAFTY projects I know you have up your sleeves!! Hmmmm, do hens have sleeves? Oh well, you know what I mean! Tee-hee!

This here is a little birthday card I made for my BIL who I know is just gonna love it! Simple design, but it just seems to work with this image doesn't it? I LOVE it! This is "Farmer Clem" from High Hopes Stamps. I colored him with my Copics, and mounted him to this DP from GCD Studios. I matted the DP with some SU Kraft and adhered it to the SU Early Expresso card base. To finish, I tied on some brown gingham ribbon and added a button on top!

Don't forget, you've still got plenty of time to enter my That's Krafty Thursday #60 challenge below. The challenge doesn't close until April 18th so come on and play along! Or do I need to send Farmer Clem after you with his pitchfork?? Bwah-ha-ha-ha! I knew you'd see it my way! {snort} Ok, that's it from the hen house today! I hope you all have a TEE-RIFIC Thursday!

Supplies:

Rubber Stamp - Farmer Clem by High Hopes Stamps; CS - SU Kraft & Early Expresso, Neenah Classic Crest White; Copics; Ribbon - Offray; Button; DP - GCD Studios Chianti Collection; Twine

Happy Birthday Bobby!

Morning' hens!! Did you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year's Day? More importantly, did you MISS me? Tee-hee! I took a little time off to enjoy the holidays and it was so nice. Ah-hem, not being away from the hens, but the time off, that is. {snort!} Before I get to today's card, I just HAVE to tell you what Santa brought me... ready??? FLOYD! What's that? You don't know who Floyd is? Ok, that's understandable since some of you hens haven't been with me all that long. You see, last year for Christmas, Santa brought me Maxine (my iMac), so this year he brought me Floyd (my iPad2). And oh boy, am I ever lovin' Floyd! You hens do know who Maxine & Floyd are don't you? They're the Shoebox Greeting characters by Hallmark. I so LOVE Maxine! She's such a hoot! Her dog's name is Floyd! Tee-hee! I know, I have a twisted sense of humor! Ok, so now my Christmas tree is down and the house is all back to normal, that means it's time to get back to business right? Well first up on the agenda is my brother's birthday, which BTW is TODAY! Happy Birthday Bobby! And I made this little gem for him! Isn't it great? WOWZER!! I love this card! My brother is also a pilot so I thought this little Flying' Ace from High Hopes Stamps would be the perfect fit for him! I know he'll love it! My SIL has this bulletin board in her kitchen that's called the "Jeanie" board, and it has All my cards on it that I've made for them! Did I mention I LOVE my SIL? Mwah! LOL!

Ok, well that's it from the hen house today! I'm headed to my brother's house for a BBQ and some YUMMY birthday cake! "smack" I hope you hens have a wonderful weekend! {{{hen hugs}}}

Just for fun....

This little card was actually part of a joke but I thought I'd share it with the hens today anyway. You remember me tellin' you that my little chick's birthday party was last weekend right? (Oh by the way, it was PERFECT and she LOVED her cards! Yay!)

Ok, well I had told her that she wasn't allowed to look at my blog last week since her birthday cards were posted. So later in the week, while I was talking to her on the phone, I told her that I had 21 clucks on one of her cards! (I get real excited when I get lots of clucks! *snort*) Ok, so the DH overheard me tellin' her this and then he got on the phone and said, "I hope you like snakes!" and my little chick says, "Snakes?? I hate snakes!!" and the DH says, "Well that's what's on the birthday card your Momma made for you. {so he starts describing the card that doesn't exist!} ....It's a snake with a frog ridin' on it's back and it reads, "sssssssslithering by with a birthday hi!"

Well, the two of them got to laughin' so hard about this fictitious card, and they continued with this all week long. Every time she would call, the DH would HISS into the phone, and she'd start laughing all over again. Good grief!!

Ok, so then at the last minute on Saturday, I decided to actually make the card he dreamed up! Seriously, I made this card in like 30 minutes! Finding two stamps that were actually sized right was the hardest part! This snake is from High Hopes Stamps and the little frog is from a Whipper Snapper set I have called "Hooked on Fishing". As soon as my little chick opened this card, I thought she was gonna fall off the chair laughing. Tee-hee! She got the biggest kick out of it and yes, the inside does read, "ssssssslithering by with a birthday hi". LOL!!

Have a great Wednesday and don't forget, tomorrow is the start of a new That's Krafty Thursday challenge, so be sure to get that Kraft cardstock ready!! Woo-hoo! {{{hen hugs}}}

Bless your little hiney!!

This is a "Thank You" card for my sister in law. She is the most thoughtful person I know. She is always thinking of others and sending us little gifts. She sure does know the way to my heart, PACKAGES!!!
I LOVE PACKAGES!!
This little stamp is from High Hopes Stamps. I stamped the image on SU Kraft cardstock with my Palette Noir Black ink pad and colored with my Koh-i-noor pencils. If you've never tried Koh-i-noor pencils, you should give them a try. They work beautifully on Kraft cardstock and they're so smooth to color with. The patterned paper is from an old Provo Craft paper pack I bought when I first started making cards, ages ago!! I cut the image and the mat out with my rectangle Nesties and sponged around the edges with my chalk ink. I pierced the edges with my paper piercer and added some twill tape as a ribbon.
Isn't it just ducky??
