Oops! Miss Bunny is apparently hard at work making my breakfast, so we will turn it over to Miss Red.
Oh yes, Miss Red is ready to give away a brand new Stampin’ Up! Language of Friendship stamp set.
Now here is the deal. . . .
All you need to do to enter your name in the drawing is leave a comment below telling me to enter you. If you are getting this blog post via e-mail you will need to Click Here and then leave a comment on this post.

Now that is all for today. The end. . . . .
Have a great weekend!
Until my next post. . . . . .

Introducing Photopolymer by Stampin’ Up!
Always wanted to be a graphic designer? My favorite part about design is typography. I adore type. There’s just something inherently beautiful about letterforms and what happens when you stack them to create different shapes and combine them to say different things. So without further adieu, let me introduce you to the Designer Typeset Stamp Set. It’s based around a really great san serif font that will work well on just about any project. And then there are embellishments and shapes to take whatever you want to say to the next level. The possibilities are seriously endless.


I’ll admit, once you start playing around with the stamp set, you will have a hard time stopping!


But before we get too carried away, let’s get to talking about the benefits of photopolymer stamps. For those who are unfamiliar, let me point out a couple of things that are really cool.
First, they’re completely clear, making it oh-so-easy to stamp exactly where you want. They come unmounted, on an acetate sheet, and temporarily adhere to our clear blocks. Awesome!

Second, they are pliable. Want your arrow to shoot a certain way? No problem! Want your banner to have the perfect sag? Easy peasy! Being able to play with the shape gives you even more creative freedom.

So let’s get down to the nitty gritty. The Designer Typeset Stamp Sets in the online store starting now. So just click HERE to order yours today!

I love your blog and try to check it each day. I have tried many of your ideas and been successful. It has made me expand the way I make cards and use inks. Thank you for your creative inspiration!
Shannon, You are so welcome! Thanks for the pat on the back. Hugs!
I recently found your site and am truly excited to find your tutorials! Now all I have to do is get a brayer.
Laura, You’re going to love brayering. But watch out it is addicting, grin. Hugs!
Please enter me into the contest – Thank you so much, SJ
Ooooh…your hens are gorgeous! Please enter me in the giveaway…keep trying to find this set used, and it always gets snatched up before I can get it.
Thanks so much for your beautiful card inspiration. I just love looking at them. They are so unique. I’m planning to try my second one this evening.
Your “chicks” are so cute. do you talk to them and they answer back. My mom used to have chickens and every time that I would go out to feed them and gather the egss, I would talk like they did and of course the would bawk back at me. it would be funny if you got them all going at the same time. then mr. rooster would get curious as to why they were all talking……LOL
Please enter me into your give away.
have a wonderful weekend and we’ll “talk” again.
Caroline
Such a cool giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win.
It is so cute to watch your chicks.
A friend of mine has fallen in love with zindorf and used it to allay her fears on an airplane flight. She said she didn’t even realize the flight was over. lol Now she is trying to get me to try it and I will.
Myrna
I look anxiously at your website every day or two. I can’t wait to get instructions on how to create your cards. Please enter me into your giveaway. Thanks, Miriam
First, I can’t believe how big your chickens are — seems like just yesterday they were just baby chicks living in your house. Second, I love your cards using the new Photopolymer stamp set. I think these are going to be a big hit (already used mine and was totally impressed)!!
Sorry I got mixed up with writing two comments and half was for you and half was for zentangle. That’s what happens when the mind wanders.
I still love your site and your chicks make me smile.
Again, sorry.
Myrna

I am such a fan and cannot tell you how many of my cards you have inspired. Thank you. Please enter me to win the wonderful stamp set.
How fun again to try and win. Keep up the great ideas for us.
I just returned from Key West where Roosters, Hens, and Chicks were everywhere. Your post made me laugh out loud. I also learn a lot from your many step-by-step posts. Thanks for the laugh and the learning!
Michelle! You’re so creative
Your cards are always so beautiful, but today I’m talking about how you introduced the blog candy and shared photos of your “family.” I can’t believe how big the girls are getting! And Lucas looks so kiss-able. (Give him one for me on the nose.)
Can I ask a question? I don’t know much about chickens. I thought only males had the red crown. Does Miss Red wear a tiara?
Congrats on the weight loss! Now you can inspire us in yet another way! I’m a little behind on my goal for the year (set-back by some health problems).
Luv your site,
Nicole
Hi Nicole, both sexes have them. A roosters would be larger than the hens. I only have hens. Hugs!

I love, love, love your cards involving birds. I want to make every one! I love little birds so much and usually cannot resist any bird stamp out there.
