Just Because Cards

Hey There Birthday Chick!

Just Because Cards / / ,

Our card today was created by a dear friend of mine, Cherie Masters. Cherie came to visit last weekend and we had a great time crafting together. Crafting with friends is the best, right?

I am very thankful for my friend Cherie and am excited to share her sweet Hey Chick card with you today.

As you may recall, the Hey Chick set was part of Sale-A-Bration a few years ago, and now it is back for a limited time and I am happy to say, with adorable coordinating dies. You can purchase this sweet bundle and the Hey Birthday Chick Bundle right now through June 30th. Hey Chick Bundle # 158327 $44 Hey Birthday Chick Bundle #158631 $43
