So for this month, I took...
Cow Appreciation Day - Go out and give a cow a hug, Yellow Pig Day, and Amelia Earhart Day. 

I sooo wanted to do a project that incorporated all three of these together. So I decided to go with a girl yellow pig, flying a plane with a cow hugging the plane. Yep, I can be weird like that sometimes, lol. But, alas, I couldn't get my cow to cooperate so this was plan #2...

My girl pig ( I promise you she is yellow not orange. If you thought she was yellow, than just ignore this). I used Create a Critter 2 for the pig and Everyday Pop Up Cards for my plane and sign. I don't have the sizes because I did this when we first got the days and forgot to write them down, now I can't remember, oops.

And here is my cute cow, I just want to hug and squeeze him... well...not really but I am trying to get into the day, lol. From Create a Critter cart.
"Hugs 2 Moo"....don't you just love it, thought of that all by myself, lol.

Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Review

Good morning friends, Carolyn here with a review of a new tool I just recently purchased.  Received a newsletter from Scrapbook.com recently and checked it out.  But I did not purchase from Scrapbook.com as it's out of stock, so went to another source, and it arrived this past Saturday afternoon. TIP:  Easy way to create borders for your scrapbook page layouts, or embellishing the page or creating edges for your cards.  Gives you ease of creating a border across the edge(s) of paper; and create a border strip and cut down to size you would like for embellishing a sentiment mat for a card or front of card.
