There's an adorable new shaped card set at
The Cutting Cafe called Egg Sentiment Shaped Card Set. It comes with an egg shaped card, scalloped edge topper, envelope with an egg edge, 8 patterned papers in two different sizes and 4 sentiment borders. The adorable little chick I used on my card came from another Cutting Cafe set called
Easter Set 1. I was always fascinated with fuzzy, cute, cuddly chicks and ducks when I was young and was always trying to get my mom to let me get one at Easter time. I never convinced her. Now I understand they aren't house pets. LOL I cut my base card from white cardstock and topped it with the scalloped shape cut from Bazzill Basic Dots in yellow. Then I printed and cut the black polka dot piece topping it with the shaped sentiment. I cut my chick from a scrap of yellow polka dot and embossed the egg shell with Cuttlebug's Swiss Dot folder. For some reason this little chick made me think of the book Chicken Little that I loved so much when I was a child. It must be a picture from the book that jogs my memory. Anyway...I used dimensionals on the egg shell and a second layer of flowers. I added little tiny pearls in the center of the flowers that I colored orange with my Copics. Here's a little hint for you when you're working with circle or oval shaped cards. Trim a little off the bottom of the card back straight across and when it's standing it won't wobble.
I will use this card for the following challenges:

oh is this fabulous as is the basket in the post below! you totally rock that cricut. mine still scares me, but i'm getting there.
oh i hate to use some of my paper too. HOWEVER, i found that by cutting the 12x12 (since i don't scrapbook) into 6x6's it changes the look of the paper and makes it way easier to use - especially if it's a paper you're not crazy about!
hope you're feeling good and the weekend fabulous!
hugs :)
