Tacky Tuesdays Challenge





I made this card for Tacky Tuesday over at Ruthie's
The challenge is to use the chick  from the simply charmed cartridge.
Once again I used paper from my scrap box, with the exception of the card base which is SU.
I cut the chick at 3-1/4 on the shadow feature so I could stamp the eyes using Peachy Keen's Wide Eye Kids stamp set. I inked around the chick and other paper using Tim Holtz vintage photo distress ink, and added some white faux stitching.  The sentiment is from a Stamp of Life stamp set from last Easter,also you can't tell but I used an action wobble for the Chick!
I hope you check out Ruthie's blog and join the fun!!!!

Love is... Closed, I will anounce the winner in the morning


Like a butterfly.... it goes where it pleases & pleases where it goes.


Please read entire post, a surprise is waiting!!

I just love butterflies, dont you? They have a very special meaning to me...
I lost my Mom to Lung cancer, July 17, 2003. In losing her I also lost a part of myself, it'something that forever change you. She was a beautiful woman inside and out, she always put her Family first and rarely thought of herself, which to me was sad. She never complained about anything, I mean anything. I sure didn't  get that from her. ;)
The day we laid my Mom to rest , a butterfly as big as a tennis ball fluttered by and landed on her casket spray, and just rested there during the service. I remember hearing someone behind me gasp. After her funeral we all gathered at our home. We had lived there about 5 years and never before that day had I seen a butterfly in our backyard, as we all gathered on the patio, someone said something and I turned to see why they were all gathering around a bush. There rested on a branch,  a Butterfly identical to the one at the gravesite service. I felt a sense of calm come over me. In the difficult months ahead it seemed a butterfly presented itself to me at times I need reassurance most.
To this day when I see a  butterfly, may it be, real, a picture, on  a card ... I still feel that sense of calm, and a gentle reminder that she will always be with me!

I  just had a thought..... In Honor of my beloved Mom I'm going to make this post a giveway post too...  Ok, UPDATE....Here are the details on this challenge giveaway!
