Hello everyone....this has been a real crazy week for me... funerals, conferences, work, and we also added some new members to our little farm family. My DH bought me 24 little chicks...they are sooo cute!! The chicks are all black but I can't remember the name. He also ordered some Rhode Island Reds and some white chicks...they will be here in a few weeks. They are in a big plastic box in my parents shed right now....Mom and Dad are really enjoying watching them grow. George has to remodel the side of the small barn into a chicken coop before we can take them to their new home. We should have some eggs in about 6 months!!! Anyway....I made this card for a church friend whe is having some complications with her chemo...I just wanted her to know I was thinking about her. I used stamps from an A Muse set called Life is a Story that I bought from a friend, Jenn Balcer, who has started to sell A Muse stamps.....check out her online site here. The birdcages, chain hangers, and the sentiment were all stamped with Versafine Onyx Black, and the birds were stamped with Marina Mist. The largest birdcage on the right was stamped twice and one was cutout and popped up on foam dots. The ribbon was pleated and the buttons finish it off.

Hi Joan,
I like both of your cards today. I think I have a "thing" for birds and birdcages. lol I love the hanging cages and the blue is soothing. I think your friend will be comforted by your thoughts. As for the birthday flower, it is sweet, and I think your butterfly is really cool. I know everyone you know is happy to receive one of your cards!
