Christmas in June

It's been a while - too long really - since I joined in with a challenge on Dotties World! This week it is:

Christmas in June!

To save some time I've used a pre-coloured image and cut it out as a circle but not cutting through the image! Backing papers are from Papermania - A Wonderful Christmas Time 6 x 6. The red ones I've have torn rather than cut and have dotted gold gel pen around the edges. The tiny letters are from the Patti Picklicious cd, maroon ribbon from my stash, and card candy too. If you are thinking that the layout looks familiar, its loosely based upon a recent Cupcakes Challenge sketch!

Do the Funky Cheeky Chicken!

This is all about chickens. Fabric chicken doorstops. Made by the Crafts Forum very own Swirlyarts! Not much narrative needed - the pictures speak for themselves! Visit her Etsy shop and buy, buy, buy! The spotty one is called (wait for it..) chicken pox.....!

And this one is MINE!!! It was a 'wooops' chicken, so named because it went a little wrong in it's production - the comb is on upside down and it has a big beak... But I love it and it sits in my kitchen and looks at me when I'm on the pc!

Two of my family have Chicken Doorstops and a friend has a Chicken Paperweight (just a smaller version) as she used to keep chickens until they built a big extention - the chickens became homeless - so I got her a paperweight one instead! Less mess and feeding me thinks!
