A Quickie Chicky Celebration
TGIF! And it’s the last day of school with an early release. My kids are ECSTATIC. They’ve been ready for summer break for at least three weeks. :) The only plan we have for the summer is a trip to Chicago next month. We’ll visit relatives along with CHA for me. I’m looking forward to both! Can’t wait!!!

I made this card a couple weeks ago for a good friend for her birthday. I love these Calendar Chicks by Stampendous. They’re so much fun! (I got mine here.)
I colored the image using Copic markers, then added a tiny white brad in the center of each flower on the gifts. The white dots across the brown strip were made using a white gel pen and the scalloped edge was cut using my Fiskars Rotary Trimmer. The sentiment is from the Birthday Centers set from Mona Lisa Moments (at Cornish Heritage Farms). And the patterned paper is Basic Grey Sultry (which you might be able to win by commenting here.)
I’m off to get as much done as I can before school. I want to enjoy my last three hours of peace and quiet. (I may not even turn on the radio…I want to enjoy the quiet blowing of the fan while I can hear it.) :) Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

What a cute card. I just love the Chicks from Stampendous. I just discovered your blog and there is already the chance to win blog candy. Thanks for the chance to win.
Now this is just the sweetest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your coloring rocks girl!!! Love the paper and layout and EVERYTHING!
This is so darn cute!!!! I love your coloring and the layout! That image is just perfect with the paper!
I have to love this - it’s got a chick on it!! (well, I don’t HAVE to, I just do!)
Michele, this is adorable. Your colouring is fabulous and I love the shading you did around the whole image…fantastic!
I wish our last day of school was today…we still have two more weeks…ack!

This is so cute M!! I love it!!!
YAY for your 3 hours of silence…..I won’t call you then lol. 
Can’t wait to see what you do next!
That chick is just too cute. Yesterday’s Craft Critique reviewed a velvet flocking that would make that little chickie soft and cuddly. And, I think CHF may carry it.
The coloring is so vibrant and coordinates perfectly with your papers … wonderful card.
Love it! I’m crazy for the chicks!! TFS! XO, Mimi

I like how the packages seem to be turned sideways and the one flower is just slightly off of the square. Thanks for sharing, JP
