Hey, Chick – did you hear that Sale-a-Bration has started?
Which came first the Chicken or the egg? In my case I think it was the egg – the Occasions catalog has some fun new mini egg cartons which I have here in my craft room. Now I just need time to play with them. Then there is the Hey, Chick stamp set. I keep thinking I ordered it but then I can’t find it. So I finally sat down and went through my orders yesterday and Yes I really did order it (demos get to pre-order in December). And then I had to go on a hunt to find it – it was like hunting for eggs – ha ha! Finally I found it!
This fun stamp set is one of the FREE items you can choose during Sale-A-Bration. Spend $50 in product and select this as your freebie.
| Read what our illustrator, Lori Sume, has to say about her inspiration for the Hey, Chick stamp set: |
| When I was a child growing up in Canada, I remember some family friends who had little chickens that I thought were so cute. A couple of summers ago here in Utah, I stopped at a friend’s ranch and saw all their cute animals including their chickens. They had typical chickens but also another kind called Polish Frizzle Bantam White Chickens. I think they are so funny with all those feathers flopping around on the top of their heads and how they like to stare straight at you and cock their heads. |
| So when I was assigned to create the Hey, Chick Stamp Set, I was so excited. I wanted to exaggerate the rounder chickens and really make them round, and I also really wanted to draw one of those funny chickens I saw at my friend’s ranch. It was a really fun set to create. |
