Muddy Pig

I feel like I am still catching up!  Now that I think about it, I am not sure how much I shared on here...my husband is a stickler about not announcing publicly when we go on vacation for obvious reasons.  But that means I have no idea if you even knew I was gone!  November has been a complete blur...we went on a 9 day kid-free vacation to Nicaragua (I will have to post about it later because it was amazing!), then we were home for a few days, then we went to Great Wolf Lodge which is an indoor waterpark resort up in Traverse City, Michigan, then we were home for a few days, then we went to my parents for Thanksgiving for a couple of days (and had to deal with my son getting the 24 hr flu on Thanksgiving!), and now I still feel like I am catching up!  So in my efforts of catching up, I realized I am behind on some design team requirements...so get ready for some posts!


We will start off with a card that I submitted to Paper Crafts Magazine (wasn't accepted obviously since I am posting it) for Mother's Day.  I am not usually not this early, so don't get any ideas that I have actually changed!  I used the sketch that was part of the call for my layout.  The cutie muddy pig and perfectly matching sentiment are from Hambo Stamps.  I had some other ideas to make with this cute pig, but ran out of time...maybe some day!


Are you ready for some more...be back later, the dirty dishes appear to have actually piled high enough to form a dirty dish figure that is calling my name.  A little creepy, so I best take care of that!  Thanks for checking out my kind of engineering!
