New artwork for my card class this month.

I found these ideas on Pinterest and Splitcoastampers

I made the first one using CTMH's Avonlea papers.  I added Chocolate and Dessert Sand card stock.  I used the Artiste Cartridge to cut out the shapes under the ribbon rose.  I stamped the tag with the Avonlea workshop stamp set in Dessert Sand and Juniper ink. I sponged all the edges with Dessert Sand Ink then distressed the edges with CTMH's Edge Distressor.  I added 2 large Rhinestones in the top left corner.  

I also added Chocolate Bakers twine to the tag.

 I made this card using Family Tree D1526.  I stamped the tree in Black Stazon ink on the Lagoon card stock.  I used CTMH's new Lagoon Pigment ink to stamp the swirl on the Black card stock.  I used a White gel pen to dot the edges of the Black card stock.  I stamped the Butterfly from A Flutter a in Black Stazon on the Lagoon card stock and cut it out.  I backed  the black card stock in Topiary card stock.  I dotted around the lagoon swirl on the edge of the black card base.  I used Foam tape to the back of the scalloped circle to give the card some dimension.

I hope to have the other 2 cards made in the next few days.  

Please leave a comment to let me know what you think about these cards.

The Baby chicks are 2 weeks old now.

They are so cute.  They are getting big too.  The other morning when I let the other chickens out of the coop the new babies came down the ramp in between the ones that were born in July, Cleopatra was on the ramp about half way down and stopped.  The little baby chick decided it didn't want to wait for Cleopatra to move so it jumped on Cleopatra's back.  Cleopatra jumped and ran down the ramp and shook real good to get the baby chick off her back and was ready to go out side.  It was so funny to watch.  Here is a  pic of the new babies.

Chuck is learning to crow, it sounds like a Kazoo.  At first I thought it was the neighbor boy playing  with a Kazoo in his yard, but it was Chuck.  I love to hear him crow, it is so cute.  Here is a couple pics of Chuck.  I think he is quite handsome.  Mostly white with some black speckles on his neck and tail.



I hope you enjoy hearing about my little farm.

I have a few new cards to share soon too.  I'll try to get those posted in the next couple days.

Happy Scrappin,

New Baby Chicks.

Medusa has been setting on 2 eggs for three weeks now and so I have been checking on her quite often the last couple of days. There were still 2 eggs yesterday morning and yesterday afternoon, when I went out to check on Medusa to see if we had babies, we did.  One was all dry but the other was still wet.  My hens like to lay in the same nest box and so sometimes there are 3 different colors of eggs in the one nest.  I tried to keep Medusa from nesting but she insisted.  She even pecked at me once when I tried to take the eggs so I told her she could keep 2 and I put and M on both and pulled all of the others that I found.

Here are pictures.

 I believe that the first one is a Silver Laced Wyandotte, because it doesn't have many feathers down it's legs and on it's feet.

This one is a Cochin, it has lots of feathers on it's legs.

It is getting pretty chilly at night now, I hope they will be ok.  I have heat lamps in the coop so I think they will be fine.  I will keep you posted on the growth.

On a sad note, I lost my favorite hen yesterday.  Sarasvati, the hen that just hatched chicks in July.  Sara was a Partridge Cochin

RIP Sarasvati Feb. 2011 - Oct. 11, 2012

I have a crop and card class on Saturday so I should be able to get some artwork made.
