Down on the Farm with Chic Chickadee Crafts

Last day of the Die Cut Divas' February challenge.  (Tutorial on working with Word below last photo.

I went a little "down on the farm" here.  Anyone remember that song by Doris Day, "A bushel and a peck"?  Well, it was really quite catchy.   The opening lyric is part of the Sugartree Farmhouse Digital stamp set at Chic Chickadee Crafts.

Lyrics

I love you a bushel and a peck
A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck
A hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap
A barrel and a heap and I'm talkin' in my sleep...

Close-up below.  Next time I will color the big basket 

a lighter shade so the sentiment is more visible.

I googled how to add another jpeg on top of another jpeg in Word.

1. I copied, pasted and resized the bushel baskets and sentiment in Word
2. Working with Word 10, I then clicked on the baskets image.  
3. While still in the image, I RIGHT-Clicked on "Wrap Text".  
4. Another drop-down popped up and I clicked on "Behind Text".   
5. I then clicked on the sentiment.
6. I RIGHT-Clicked on "Wrap Text".
7. Another drop-down popped up and I clicked on "Square".
8. I moved the text over the baskets and resized anything I didn't like.
9. I printed this off on Copic paper to color.

Chic Chickadee Tags/Banners

I had pre-colored some Chic Chickadee coffee cups and wanted to share what I used them for.  I just needed to choose papers for some tags and also a card.  I recently purchased some papers from Stampin' Up and I was more than eager to try them out.

I also needed to use some banner dies which have sat unused for quite some time.  Below is the result of banner die-cuts and coffee cups.  I think I should have used a different background to really show off the background colors, but alas, these have left the building, much like Elvas.

Card below.

I sent this card off to a friend and hope it gets through all the borders.

Have fun stamping.

It's Chic Chickadee Crafts Time

I'm not a coffee drinker, but so many of my friends are, so I went for an Iced Coffee friend who will laugh with me about this sentiment.  Check out the "Anything Goes" challenge at Die Cut Divas.  Don't you just love "anything goes"?


Die Cut Divas' sponsor for March is Chic Chickadee Crafts.  Lots of different things to check out.  Have fun with her digis too.
