One of the Flushmate peeps is heading to greener pastures, the greener pastures of home! Now she is the kinda peep that stamps and is crafty and comes along on the trips to Canada, so for myself, it's not a tearful buh-bye. I know where she lives and I know she has fresh rubber arriving soon...LOL So Mary, since you're a cool chick, I made this for you...
It started out as a card idea, but grew to a framed piece because the image kept getting larger as I kept adding layers. I realized I could finally pull out my Graphic 45 papers and use them perfectly with these girls. The bow is a scrap of Stampin' Up ribbon that I was able to make into a pretty little bow....I wish I had had more to actually tie. shoot! The Chicken Trio is from Whipper Snapper Designs and I hope they find a good home keeping an eye over Mary while she crafts her heart out....{while I still put in 40 hours at Flushmate!!! do I sound bitter?} haha
I know I am taking my chances by posting this tonight, cause Mary likes to do late night/crack of dawn surfing. Mary if you see this, go back to bed! lol
That is so darn cute! It is a great framed piece!
