A "cluck, cluck" Here & There!

A "cluck, cluck" Here & There! A Chicken & Farm Card

Hello everyone!   It is beginning to warm up and spring is  in the air!  Yay!  We love spring and look forward to the sunshine and warmer weather. The flowers and garden! Can't wait! 

I was very inspired by Lawn Fawn's Challenge (link at the end of the post) -Inspired by a book, movie or song. There are so many great options that I think the hardest part was picking just four!!!!!! I did multiple cards, too many to enter into the challenge but I just couldn't stop! It was so much fun! I could only enter in a few so I picked the ones I liked best. There are links for the ones I entered at the end of the post. This is one that I loved but just not enough to make it in the challenge.

Let's be real I can't do just "The Farmer in the Dell" themed card without doing "Old MacDonald had a Farm" themed card too!



I hope they are still teaching the song! it is a classic and so much fun to sing! I focused my card on the farm in the hayride with, you guessed it, the Lawn Fawn Hayrides stamp set but really wanted to do the "clucks" everywhere! I work in the farming industry as well as live in a farming community! That's Right Idaho = the BEST Potatoes! So I guess that is why I enjoyed making these farm themed cards. Spring is here and farming is in full spring! I love seeing the fields being planted and the tractors and farm equipment rolling!

I really hope you enjoy this card as much as I did making it! p.s. there is also a mini video showing the card at the end of this post...

Here is the Card:

I used:

  • Lawn Fawn Hey There, Hayrides Stamp & coordinating Die Set
  • Lawn Fawn Celebrate Winter Critters Stamp & coordinating Die Set
  • My Favorite Things Essential Letters

The Mouse took the Cheese

The Mouse took the Cheese: A Cheesy Challenge Card

Hello everyone!   It is beginning to warm up and spring is  in the air!  Yay!  We love spring and look forward to the sunshine and warmer weather. The flowers and garden! Can't wait! 

I was very inspired by Lawn Fawn's Challenge (link at the end of the post) -Inspired by a book, movie or song. There are so many great options that I think the hardest part was picking just four!!!!!! I did multiple cards, too many to enter into the challenge but I just couldn't stop! It was so much fun! I am only entering the ones I liked best, but I will post all of them eventually, so keep an eye out. I based this card off of "The Farmer in the Dell" song/book. 

Its a classic song and I remember singing it as a child! My favorite part is the mouse running off with the cheese and the cheese standing alone. So I took a little spin on it and had the little mouse taking his cheese in a tractor to his mice friends! The Lawn Fawn Hay Rides Stamp set was perfect for this card and making this scene from the song! Hi- Ho! The Dairy-o! Lets go get the cheese so it doesn't have to stand alone! Plus I love cheese, so lets eat!

I really hope you enjoy this card as much as I did making it! p.s. there is also a mini video showing the card at the end of this post...

Here is the Card:

I used:

  • Lawn Fawn Hey There, Hayrides Stamp & coordinating Die Set
  • Lawn Fawn Celebrate Winter Critters Stamp & coordinating Die Set
  • Lawn Fawn Cheese Christmas Stamp & Coordinating Die Set
  • Lawn Fawn Hay There, Hayrides! Mice Add-on Stamp & coordinating Die Set
