Birthdays! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's Chrissy's turn to choose the challenge and she's got an easy one for you.  She wants to see those birthday projects.

This is what I did....


Piggy stamp is a set I got at a craft yard sale with no manufacturer packaging.  The sentiment is one I've had for ages....like one of the very first sets I bought back in, like, 2012.  I embossed it, though you can't really tell in the photo.  Oh, and I'll be taking no questions or comments about the inked sky background - thank yew.  

Why not give our challenge a go this week and join us?  And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

  3. And you do know right, that by telling us NOT to comment, we're probably going to comment :-). This is a super cute card. I love the little piggy, your sentiment, your grass and cloud die cuts, YOUR INKED SKY BACKGROUND (couldn't resist – I think it looks fantastic!), and the perfect paper choice to set it all off.

  11. Wow, such a cute piggy! So beautiful for a birthday card and congratulations. I love your color scheme, especially the sky in the background. And I also like the different papers you used. The grass looks so pretty and interesting. And the base paper with all the stripes and the pink tone goes perfectly with it. I think the recipient will really enjoy this cute piggy.
    Thank you for participating in the current Critter Crazy Challenge.
    Hugs, Uschi

Okay, so ever since I started my blog (well, maybe not right from the get-go, it was probably a good six months or so before I realized you could change it from just "Leave your comment") I've tried to come up with something witty to type here.

*sitting with brow furrowed in concentration*...*staring at the ceiling while pursing lips*...*resting with head on hand while tapping foot*...

Nope, I still got nothing.
