Hello there,

I used the fox from the Stampin’ Up! “The Wilderness Awaits” stamp set as my main image for todays card.  Wouldn’t it be nice to make one of these for each of your foxy friends?  I think they would love it!

That fox looks quite cozy under that flowering  bush.  🙂

Hello there and happy Friday,

Today I decided to share a quick video I made on a few of my favorite sponging techniques.  It only took me a moment to record, good thing you can’t see my clothing I have on while making this video.  I just came in from taking care of the girls (hens), lol.  Not my best look.  🙂

Did you know you can get different effects by the way you sponge?  Check it out.

May you have an inky kind of day!

Waters Edge – Stampin’ Up! Card

1 Comment

Waters Edge Card Created by Michelle Zindorf

Hi there,

Check out today’s card.  I think the light I created by layering colors really makes the scene.  Keeping the palette to Blues and Pinks keeps the scene from being to busy.  Those cool colors also make it a peaceful scene too.  What do you think?

You’re a Good Egg – Stampin’ Up! Card

On another note. . . .

I got in the mood to create a chicken card today after hanging out for a bit this morning with my girls (hens) and buddy (rooster).  DSC_0007_edited-33

Even when you give the girls a great set up with nesting boxes you will still find eggs here and there.  Just look at those 3 cute eggs in the coop corner.  I guess that was a comfy spot on a chilly morning.  Never fails, one girl will lay in a weird spot and there soon will be more hens standing in line ready to lay in the same place.

DSC_0008

A couple of the girls did as they were taught and left me eggs in the nesting boxes.

DSC_0011

This old girl always comes in the coop to inspect what I am doing in there.  She will just hang out on the door edge until I’m finished gathering eggs.  Kind looks at me like I look at a repairman that is in my house, with a bit of a watchful eye.

DSC_0006

This is Jo Jo.  It’s hard to see but she has a crippled up right foot.  She was born with it that way.  She actually walks on the top of her right foot instead of on the bottom the way it is turned up.  When she hatched it was apparent her foot was not right.  I tried to straighten it out with a little homemade boot but to no avail.  Some may have just did away with her but, we let her enjoy her life as if she were normal and she has reward us by being one of our best layers.  Jo Jo is super sweet too.  I believe we made the right decision.

DSC_0020

We only have one Rooster, Stewie Jr.  He is a mixed breed.  The only one to hatch out of a clutch of seven eggs.  Here he is in all of his glory, surrounded by his girls, there are 14 of them.  He is one lucky rooster.  One thing you have to respect about a rooster, they will sacrifice themselves to a predator in order to protect their hens.  I’m hoping Stewie Jr. never has to do that.  He makes quite the commotion when there is a hawk in the area so the girls will take cover and then he stands out in the open a bit just daring the hawk to swoop down.  With that said it makes perfect sense that roosters out weight the hens by quite a bit.  Stewie stands about 6 inches taller than the girls.  He is a big boy.  I can’t see any hawk being able to lift him off the ground.

And that is what is happening in our neck of the woods. . . . . .
