Stampin' Up! Hey, Chick

I wouldn't normally post using the same stamp set two days in a row, but today I created another card using the stamp set Hey, Chick because I didn't want you to miss out on this FREE stamp set from Stampin' Up!   This is a Sale-a-Bration stamp set, and is only available while supplies last.  If you are not familiar with Sale-a-Bration, it's a special time of year where Stampin' Up! allows everyone to choose a free product from the SAB catalog when they purchase $50.00 or more in merchandise.  If you purchase $100.00, you get to choose two items for FREE.  Isn't that so exciting? 

Growing up, I remember my Grandpa Maneke raising chickens and I have many fond memories of those times, except of course the time when he told me to choose a chicken.  Which I did.  And then I found out it was dinner.  His chickens were always white, but I always dreamed of having chickens on a farm, and they would be very colorful chicken, like these.
