Piggy Valentine

TGIF!!!! We are gearing up for a long weekend since my kids got out of school early today, & they have off on Monday. Of course, they're starting their weekend with a little Wii workout...lol...

I've loved working with all the new High Hopes images this week, but today I wanted to flash back a bit. Who remembers this little piggy??



Oh I just love him!!! I showed you a picture a few weeks ago of a card I had done last year with this image, & it made me want to do another!! This is Sow Soo-eet Piggy & you can find him at 7 Kids College Fund! I stamped the image onto SU's Very Vanilla....& colored him with my Prismas & Twinkling H2O's. The papers are SU's Suede something (old In Color....I can never remember the names!), Riding Hood Red & another In Color Pink. Sorry I'm not very good with the colors that don't stick around too long (except RHR, of course, lol). The red layer is punched with my Martha heart border punch, & the pink layer is embossed with Swiss Dots. The heart in the corner is made with my new Martha heart punch......& I dressed it up Anna style! Remember how she applied glitter glass to her snowflakes? Well I'm sure I'm not the first one to do it to my heart!! And get this....I am so lame....I *just* found out there is another Martha heart punch that goes with this one, for the layer behind it. I've been freakin' hand cutting my mattes!!! Yes, that's right.....I've been spending oodles of time cutting out these hearts....no template...nothing to trace....just start cutting & hope for the best!! Now there's another punch I'll have to buy!!





This card will be going in my Etsy shop just as soon as I can finish the inside & create an envelope!! Yet another card that is too bulky for a regular envelope!!

And don't forget you can order High Hopes.....including all the brand new ones....right HERE at 7 Kids College Fund!! Thanks so much for visiting...have a great weekend!!

Oh Michelle - what could be cuter than this little piggie. LOVE what you have done with the heart. I haven't seen either of the punches you are referring to - but you did a fantastic job making this one!
Hugs, Candy
