All the Piggies and Picking Carrots! A Spring Card!

Hello everyone! Spring is here and we are so excited! It's time to get ready to plant our garden and flowers! We can't wait! Happy Spring!!! We are so glad you stopped by! If you like our blog & posts we would love for you to give our blog a follow!

Let the crafting continue.... This card was inspired by the Double Trouble Recipe Challenge, especially the part about adding a pig or two! I love little piggies and of course couldn't resist pulling out one (of many) a stamp set featuring some adorable piggies! I loved it so much I made a few cards using this stamp set! I hope you will join in the fun, at the end of this post is the links and info! Check it out!

  3. Beautiful! The little piggies are so cute and have such wonderful colors! I love how you've created this little scene. You can really feel how much fun the piggies are having gardening. The depiction of this part of the garden is fabulous. You've created a wonderful 3D effect. And I especially love the trees. The paper is perfect for it.
    Thank you so much for submitting your beautiful card for the current "Critter Crazy" challenge.
    Hugs, Uschi

  4. What a fun farm scene with pigs tending to the garden. I love the trees on the hill, they are so cute! Great coloring and placement of your pigs, and the worm is just the icing on the cake. Thank you for sharing with us at the Double Trouble challenge.
