Hi friends!
Happy March!
Happy March!
According to the Vicky, hostess for the month of March in the CCEE Stampers,
today is National Pig Day!
And since today is my day to post over at Drive By Crafts DT blog,
I thought I'd showcase the new Avery Elle Critter Crew Birthday stamp
which features, among the cute animals, a pig!!
Here are some fun facts!
today is National Pig Day!
And since today is my day to post over at Drive By Crafts DT blog,
I thought I'd showcase the new Avery Elle Critter Crew Birthday stamp
which features, among the cute animals, a pig!!
Here are some fun facts!
* Pigs are routinely listed as
some of the world's smartest animals, with cognitive abilities on par
with those of chimpanzees, dogs and dolphins.
* The gestation period of a pig is easy to remember at 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days (for a total of 114 days).
* Pigs were first
brought to the New World by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage in
1493, along with horses, dogs, cattle, chickens, sheep and goats.
* Pigs communicate
primarily through vocalizations and can make more than 20 different
sounds, including oinks, grunts and squeals.
Now my card with the cute little pig and his friends is from the new
line of Avery Elle stamps that arrived at Drive By Crafts.
I made my card using one of my favorite lines ~ doodlebug paper,
and the fun shaker filling called Itty Bitty Shaker Fun.
After stamping out the Critter Crew onto heavy weight white cardstock
with momento tuxedo ink, I colored it with my prismacolor markers.
And here is the inside of my card ~ stamped with a matching sentiment
from the set and the image partially again.
You can find more inspiration for cards at the Drive By Crafts blog
and of course, look around in the shop for stamping goodies!
Stop in to the CCEE Stampers blog to see how the DT
made their cards today for National Pig Day ♥
Big hugs, bigger blessings!
