There's no better time to go Hog Wild than on Valentine's Day, right? This cutie of a hog is a Bugaboo Stamps image and I think he's adorable with his little gift of a spring flower for his special girl. :-D I kept the design fairly CAS although the background is dp instead of plain white but it has limited embellies and the focal point is clearly the image.
Cut w CUTplorations stitched die
Papers are old ones from SU
Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon
Heart 'buttons' from CTMH
(puff stickers which I made into
buttons but adding 'holes' w gel pen)
All last month I used only supplies from my stash and I've decided to continue that through this month as well. I can't believe how much money I've saved by not buying new things I just "had to have!" I really think I just didn't realize the depth and breadth of my stash. I've found things I've had for 8 or 10 YEARS which go unused and, even worse, forgotten! It's been fun (and a bit like Christmas morning all over again) discovering those things which have been hidden in drawers and on shelves and using them up.
I swear I must have 10,000 yards of ribbon! And papers? Oh, my! When I jokingly say I have a "ton of papers," I may actually have that much. Sheesh, talk about hoarding...
Challenges:
Catch the Bug (1 ribbon/ 2 buttons/ 3 layers)
Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

Great card NC. I like that you "made" buttons - clever idea. Your ribbon and paper stash sounds very much like mine. I made a committment several months ago not to buy any more ribbons and paper pads and so far I'm managing to stick to it. I suspect if I cave on either of them it will be the paper pads.
So very sweet, thanks so much for joining in with our 'Four Legged Friends' theme at Allsorts challenge this week.
