Grateful Piggie

      We're starting a new challenge at Angie's Digital Stamps this morning and the theme is "Anything Goes" (no twist this month.)  This is our last challenge of the year because the DT takes a 2 month break over the holidays.

     I thought this sweet little piggie (Pig Eating from Trough) would be perfect for a Thanksgiving card.  Doesn't he look completely grateful for his holiday corn?  :-D

     I colored him with my ProMarkers and cut the image with a Cottage Cuts stitched die.  I found scraps bits of dp, including the strip of leaves, in my basket, and I think they are all from a DCWV stack.  Although it's difficult t see in the photo, the small leaves along that strip are sparkly and embossed.  I printed my own sentiment and cut it with an Avery Elle die.  The large leaf is cut from silk and the polka dot bow is hand tied.


I pulled these colors from the photo at
pink, yellow, orange, red, beige, brown + pale blue from shadows on the tree trunks

     Challenges:

     Come play with us since this is our last challenge this year.  We love seeing what you create and also being inspired by your creations.  Since we won't see you in November or December, may I wish you the happiest of holidays now?  Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

A Little (Halloween) Magic

      This is my second card for the August monthly challenge at Beccy's Place, where the theme is always Anything Goes but where there is also an optional theme which you can use if you desire.  This month, Beccy gave us a Coin Flip chart.  For each line across (1 - 5), you flip a coin and then you use the item listed under either Heads or Tails depending on how the coin landed.


I ended up with: Stitching/Gate fold/Digi image/Ribbon/& Other occasion.

     I chose a sentiment and a digital image from two different Beccy's sets.  The cat is "Hemlock" from 'The Witching Hour' and I can't remember the name of the set for the sentiment.  I looked for it and didn't find it but it may have been retired.  
 
     Hemlock's eyes were colored with a ProMarker, and he was cut with a QuicKutz die.  The sentiment was also cut with a QuicKutz die from a different set.  Both were framed with CS cut with dies one size larger.  My stitching is on the ribbon I used and I added a small, fabric pumpkin.  I folded my card into a modified gate fold with overlapping flaps.  



     Challenges:

     Have yourself a wonderful day and Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
