I Gotta Crow

Happy Friday, y'all!  Today Ryan got to have breakfast with his grandparents at school for Grandparents Day...but they had sausage, egg, and cheese burritos and he didn't like that, so he cried.  They got him to drink some orange juice but he was an unhappy little dude, so I'm going to be Nice Mama tonight and make him pancakes for dinner.  That's his favorite breakfast, even if it's not mine, but hopefully that will make up for breakfast burritos.  Ha!

Oh yeah, I said it was a cloudy, dark day yesterday?  Ended up being even darker than expected--we had a power outage for an hour or two yesterday morning, including Ryan's school.  He thought that was fun, but I suppose when you're a kid, anything that changes up the normal school routine is fun.  Happily the power wasn't out long enough to ruin the stuff in the fridge and we were back up and running by lunchtime.

Anywah, card!


I know I did a judgy chicken card for last Friday's post, but c'mon, these chickens are awesome.  (...awesomely JUDGY!)  And I couldn't resist when I saw the Card Concept challenge:


Of course I was inspired by the chicken on the wreath, and I used the colors Poppy Parade, black (just for stamping the chicken), Crushed Curry, and Pretty Peacock.  I used some blue gems that came out a couple of years ago, they're kind of an iridescent peacock-adjacent color, they reflected the light when I took the picture.  And the DSP is last year's color family paper, which is my all-time favorite.  Anyway, my card is in the clean and layered style thanks to the Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch:


Fun sketch, lots of scope for imagination as Anne Shirley would say.  I had fun putting this card together.

Have a great weekend, chicks!
