Chicks Rule

For this week's great new challenge at The Kraft Journal, our theme was to create something with the theme "Chicks Rule".  Being that it's so close to Easter, I did think about doing an "Easter chick" card, but then I got to thinking about one "chick" I know who really does stand out, and that's my (ex) sister-in-law.  She is Russian, and I enjoy making cards and projects using Russian sentiments for her.  The sentiment I used on this card says "Happy Birthday" in Russian.

I started my project by taking a Corrugated Kraft Square and attaching a piece of Buff Ivory Cardstock.  Next, I used some Cosmo Cricket patterned papers, journaling card and chipboard to create the background.  To that, I added some vintage black lace, some Baker's Twine, a Canvas Tag, and then I used the super versatile Jenni Bowlin Memo Notebook.  I used one printed page from this Memo Note Book  (with words and numbers), and then a second page from this same Black Memo Note Book that was a tiny sticker page.  I ran it through my printer to place the Russian Happy Birthday sentiment in just the right place.  I attached a vintage button and a resin flower.  That's about it.  I will also say that I use my Bone Folder Tool from The Kraft Outlet quite a bit.  It is very helpful for making crisp, clean folds, and it also help smooth out bumps which came in handy while using the sticker to run through the printer.  It's a very useful tool.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I really hope that you will consider stopping by The Kraft Outlet to pick up some wonderful new goodies, and then heading over to The Kraft Journal to play along in the Chicks Rule Challenge this week.  You are also most welcome to join our weekly challenge at Word Art Wednesday where it's always Anything Goes, and we'd be SO blessed to have you join us and play along at both!

I'm entering this one challenge:  My Craft Spot by Kimberly - Challenge #92 - Strings & Things - I used baker's twine on this project, and you kind find lots of baker's twine, and lovely shades of jute at My Craft Spot.
 

Have a blessed week,
