This is my favorite time of the year, and I am keeping myself free of any stress, and I telling you this because those cute cupcake pops almost caused me stress last night! LOL I started making them on Monday, mixing the cake and frosting...rolling the balls...MESSY! Last night I tried to form them into the cookie cutters, and still, too mushy. Maybe I should have shoved them out in the snow? No, I dumped them all the little red balls in the trash. I can honestly say I am not the 'greenest' person around... I take out a lot of trash.
ok, blah, blah, blah, I know...Paula, show us something and be quiet! For crying out loud it's Christmas Eve and I am just on here to take a quick peek...
Here is a Penny Black stamp, and this card is for my parents. Have I told you lately..I {heart} chickens! These girls and ready to celebrate and it just makes me smile to look at them! The patterned paper is from Cloud 9, hmmm, did you notice how the pine needles look like the chicken feet? I used Tim Holtz'z crackle glaze on the balls. The snowflake is from SU, in their holiday mini, I believe.
Relax, laugh and sing a few Christmas carols...if you hear someone singing at the top of their lungs to, 'Do They Know It's Christmas', it's me! haha
Christmas Day is reserved for our latest Elzybells challenge. Happy Holidays!!

Awww man...you threw them away? I was so looking forward to seeing these...I mean they look so easy on her blog (wink, wink). This totally sounds like something I would do, that's why I do this kind of project when no one is around so I don't feel guilty tossing them!
Love your card, these "chicks" look like their having a good ol' time!
Happy Holidays!

Wonderful card! Amazing coloring and I believe you are hooking me on chickens as well! (Like I need an enabler?!) A little part of me was glad to hear those darling cupcakes went into the trash - what a project! I'd think you were perfect if you'd pulled that off... Merry Christmas!
