Are Angels Made of Chicken?

I don't know!!! I don't think we're supposed to find out till we see em.

But my angel today is made out of chicken!!

A chicken wing, to be exact. After I looked at Pamela's chicken tail for a while I decided it looked like a foofy angel wing and thought I'd do a little out of the box chicken arranging...

I made this card for the Embellish Magazine December challenge. We had to use brown, kraft, red, turquoise and twine. I really like the combo!

You can't really see it in the pic but she's all glittery!

I used the chicken legs for her dress, and the tail for her wing.

Mmm - buffalo angel wings... :D - Just kidding!

TGIF! :) My class is Saturday - are you coming?

The Saga of the Tail Continues...

Maybe this is karma catching up with me for having a pet Tail when I was a child. Well, it wasn't technically a pet, since it was just a tail, and I don't know who thinks a fake tail is a good toy anyway, but I've got tail issues. Not my tail - I don't have a tail - but Maddie's tail. She ripped another huge chunk of it out yesterday, so it's not the catnip. I think it's some kind of mental illness. Does anyone know about tail deforestation? If so, please help me or I'm going to have to get some kind of kitty straightjacket.

PS - if anyone knows where I can get a kitty straightjacket, DO TELL. :)

So I have had foofy tails on my mind lately, which is a good thing, because I've been playing with Pamela's foofy tailed chicken stamps! I LOVE a good foofy tailed chicken.

Now I realize looking at these that I paper pieced them all. I guess chickens are just too colorful to leave all one color. After the classic barnyard, above, I thought I should make a funky chicken, tee hee... So I used my new fave paper - the Kaleidascope DSP to funk up my chicken in this black ditty.

And then these last three little babies are from Marrakech - the stamp set comes with that intricate little border you see - it exactly matches my Basic Grey Marrakech paper.

For all you neat freaks, I'm here to tell you that this kind of revelation would be impossible in a room that didn't have a weeks worth of paper scraps and other debris on the desk. So there. Rationalized AGAIN.

Hope you're having a fabby day! Thanks for Chicken In!

Okay - Everyone Get in a Circle...

Are you holding hands with the person next to you? Quit wiggling. Shh. Good. Okay - Well first of all, if you must know, I am the spotlight artist for Firecracker Designs by Pamela this month!! It's TRUE! I would never lie about such a thing! I'm really excited - I love Pamela's designs, and honored to be featured with such a talented group of designers!

And lucky for me, there's a blog hop today, and you people know how much I LOVE blog hops. You will get to find some new artists you may not have seen before and maybe learn some new stuff! I can't wait to see what everyone does!

You're holding hands because this is a circular blog hop, so no matter where you start on the hop, you can go all the way around the circle and see it all. The theme for the hop is Greetings & Salutations. So I would like to greet you WITH A SASSY AND BRIGHT CHICKEN! He's from the Just Chicken up on You set, and I colored him with Copics. Notice that he is carrying a little chicken home remedy in case there's something wrong with you, like the swine flu. Ooh - I hope you don't have the swine flu, since you are all holding hands. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR A BLOG HOP SWINE FLU OUTBREAK!

Anyway, after coloring, I paper pieced him onto some Stampin' Up! Night & Day DSP, and stuck him on a Tempting Turquoise base. The greeting is stamped in Tempting Turquoise, and I outlined "Chicken" in Green Galore to make it stand out a bit.

Now, as is customary - there are FREE GOODIES to be won on the hop - LOOKIE!Because she's cool like that, Pamela will choose the winner from a mystery hostess on the hop! None of us know who it is! So leave a comment on every post in the hop, and maybe it will be you. The winner will be contacted by email, so be sure and leave that in your comment as well.

The official kickoff is Friday at 8 AM Eastern, so if you're here early, the links may not all be live, so stop back by! :)

Ready for more? Your next stop on the hop is Donna's beautiful blog.

Thanks so much for chicken in!!! :)
