A great gender-neutral 'baby' card using some pattern paper from the Elemental kit along with Lagoon and Creme Brulee cardstock.  The Little Reminder 'month circle' was stamped on a circle and adhered to a scallop circle, both were cut using the Art Philosophy cartridge on a Cricut machine.

A Rubber Chicken!

A silly knitting project to share.  Saw this cutie on the KnitPicks blog and just had to give it a try.  The pattern can be downloaded for free from the KnitPicks site.  Following directions for the different chicken "pieces" was challenging, and I was proud of myself for being able to follow along and complete it.  Really wish I had sewed the legs on a bit more to the side of the body instead of straight out the back end.  The chicken is about 6" long, stuffed with polyfill and really silly looking.

And all the rubber chicken "pieces" before becoming a complete chicken.

A Kraft Die-Cut Card was used with paper from the Dreamin kit and a stamp from the special Rock the Block stamp set to create this 6"x6" square card. The right side of the card is actually a flap that folds over to hold the card closed.  It comes with a scallop edge, but I simply cut the edge of that off and adhered some papers that had been cut with a zig-zag border using the Art Philosophy cartridge for the Cricut.

Some Dreamin paper was added to the flap of the coordinating Kraft envelope to complete the card. 
 

Now "Hop" on over to Susan's 'Out of the Closet' blog to see her work!  Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their blogs to get some great crafting inspiration and other fun ideas!  The Rock the Block! special is only available from December 19 until the end of January, with a minimum $25 order of products from the Autumn/Winter Idea Book.
