Retail Therapy Anyone?? Bueller?.... Bueller?

It's that time of year again.....when I start gearing up for all the holiday craft shows...one week here another week there. I LOVE IT! I drive myself crazy trying to get to all of them....but its a fun kind of crazy. So of course when I was in the Woman Cave creating this weekend I was thinking of the shopping season and immediately reached for these cuties......





A closer peek...



Chickies....in hats....with purses....shopping! PURE GENIUS!!! Flash (the flamingo) also wanted me to point out that he has plastic pumpkin ready to for trick or treating and he hopes that he is NOT disappointed this year...he wants it filled.(I think that's a hint for me...haha)

Stamps used: K81 Shopaholic Chickies, B104 Hey Chickie

Big Chicks Need Love Too

I just heart this big chickie. It was just there....sitting in my drawer with out one single bit of ink stain on the rubber or wood (I tend to get ink on the wood, on my fingers, on my face....I say go big or stay home!). Poor little big chickie stamp...just needed a little love and so it called out to me....."use me....love me" and so...I have.




Take a closer peek...



And just to prove I really did love this little chickie...I added the bow! HA!

If I were a blinkie....

If I were a blinkie, I'm almost certain my forehead would say "I <3 chickies!"

Cause let’s face it…we ALL do!! How can you look at one of those little guys and not fall head over heels? That being said, how many chickies can you fit on one card (said in my best owl licking a tootsie pop voice)….wait, strike that…I just SERIOUSLY showed my age…ohhh bad bad bad. Since the Owl and the tootsie pop are retro, does that make me retro too?? Hmmm, let’s just look at the card and ignore all that and my age shall we ;) ??

Now for some reason (my picture taking incapability wouldn't have anything to do with it hehehe)the black panel looks like it's at the top of the card. In reality  it's pulled down a little so that there is a little of the base card showing and the black panel is popped up with foam tape.

Since I wanted to keep the chickies “boy / girl” even, the top right chickie was “invented”. I needed another girl and didn’t have a single one (just the girlfriends one) so I used the plain chickie and added the teeny heart stamp for a princess wand. Now that I think about it, I could have given her a bow in her hair too…dang it >.<  !

Each chickie is outlined in citrone glitter and has a little crystal lacquer accenting something. I wanted to pull in the yellow from the chickies so I added that yellow border...not sure if it's working for me or not.

Viola!

Did you see the wonderful BLOG CANDY we are giving away on Wednesday's post? You didn't well....click HERE and get entered....really you don't want to miss it....seriously - go look....we will wait.....

Did ya see it? The yummy blog candy? Did you enter? I certainly hope so.....now on to today's post....

Usually, after an afternoon or evening of crafting I tend to have 2 or 3 cards ready for the blog. Then together with Tina we have the week covered. But not this week. Nope....Oh now Tina has her "A" game on but me...I have been a cleaning fool. Like...spring cleaning only in the fall. As in on my hands and knees with a scrub brush kind of cleaning....which means last night when it was time to do a new post I panicked....because I didn't have a card ready to go. Shameful I know! (But my house does smell fresh and clean - that's the power of Pine Sol baby! - HA!)

So, last night in a frenzy I had to come up with something and quick! I grabbed this stamp and that stamp added a little of another stamp and....Voila! See....that's the great thing about DeNami stamps - they all go so well together that....well...whatever you grab its gonna work! "Stop blabbing and just show the card already" you say? Well....here ya go!



Go ahead take a little bit of a closer look...



Stamps used in this card: P80 Swirl Wreath, D121 Best Friend Chickie, B104 Hey Chickie

And if you know me....there has to be just a little bling so I added a thin little line of stickles to the wreath. See...simple...clean....easy! Now in all honesty I threw this together in about 10 mins tops (including the stamp grabbing time). Not my "best" work....but not too shabby if I say so myself *snicker* I may go back at a later date and revise this a little...but then again....maybe I won't....who knows with me.
