Farm Fresh Chickens



Well, I jumped on the bandwagon and bought some of this Farm Fresh DP and couldn't wait to make something with it. My daughter had a snow day today, so this a.m. I promised her I'd play in the snow with her (it wasn't good snowman-making snow though...bummer!), so after going outside for a bit and getting some hot chocolate when we came in, I went straight to my stamp table!

The layout is from the CCEE girls, who just started back with challenges yesterday. I just flipped the sketch sideways.

Stay warm!

P.S. To bad we don't live closer and we could spend some time in the card room...I could get some awesome inspiration from you!

You picked the perfect dp for this stamp Denise..I think they were meant to be together..Great job on the distressing..We had a two hour delay. My son was so disappointed.

Gabriela said...

Oh yeah - I love that October Afternoon DP with this chicken stamp. This is fabulous! Minime also had a snow day down here in VA and our snow wasn't worthy of a snowman either but it was fun cuddling and making S'mores with hot cocoa and teeny tiny marshmallows. Be safe.
