Just Chicken In! FMS629

 




All of the egg cards that I have been making made me think of chickens.  I remembered this stencil/stamp set I got a while back and thought it would work perfectly with Amy's sketch.  Lots of stenciling and tiny stamping but it was fun to do  - especially since we didn't go anywhere for 24 hours.  After a terrible snow drought this winter we finally got 20 wonderful inches of fluff!  Emma and Will showed up anyway for our planned egg decorating fest but the lure of that snow was too much.  We all had a grand time outside.  The snow was so deep we had to carry it up on the porch for snowman building.....












Amy has a sweet sketch for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Hope you join us!

How fun is this card...I have this stamp & stencil too and I agree, it's tiny, but the end result really makes people smile! That porch snowman makes me smile too! I wish we had gotten a wee bit more snow this year! Looking at yours makes me jealous!

Such a cute card! Love those crazy chickens! Perfect sentiment too. Glad that you got a little snow! Thankful that it was just rain for NJ! :)

What a fun stencil, Linda! Stenciling all those chickens was no poultry feat! [see what I did there?]
I'm so happy you got your snow - finally! Those darling grands, and even the snowman seem thrilled about it!

So totally adorable, Linda! Love the chicken wire border and the fabulous yard of chicks. Looks like you had a fabulous day in the snow.
