I cased this card from a magazine I just picked up at Mike's. It's called Paper Creations had had these fun doodle-looking cards on the front. If you click the link to take a peek at the cover pictures. I was also surprised that this magazine had a pull out, full size patterns for the card templates.

I traced the pattern for the chick and it's wing then drew them onto pink and ruby red paper. I cut them out slightly outside of the traced lines and distressed the edges a bit. The flourishes are from "doodle this" in the spring mini.

Since I always feel the need to overembellish I added the red/green plaid ribbon around the bottom of the card. I also punched a hole with the SU Wordwindow and made a tag that slips inside. The top of the tag has the cute little tab punch from the spring mini - you pull the tab out and it says "I'm thankful for you" ($1 Mike's stamp). Almost forgot to mention that the feather on the bird's head is from one of my chickens!! It comes in handy having birds all over the yard - they shed beautiful feathers!

Thanks for looking!
