A Pink Pig in a Cosy Sweater!

Hi there, happy Sunday!

I'm playing along at two fun challenges with today's card: 52 Christmas Card Throwdown and Jingle Belles: I'm Dreaming of a Pink Christmas.

Isn't this little pig from Art Specially just adorable? He was so much fun to colour and fussy cut.

Have a safe and crafty day.

The Christmas Kickstart Challenge #17 - Dachsund Through the Snow.

Rather unbelievably we're reached Challenge #17 over at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge. 

We've got a new theme and a new elf - Cat Craig from Catluvspaper! I've been a fan of Cat's gorgeous cardmaking style for a long time as I think we got to know eachother through the original incarnation of The Card Chain Challenge.

Our theme for Challenge #17 is Dachshund Through the Snow. Hope you'll forgive the punny title, just couldn't resist it. Yes, for this challenge it's all about our four-footed canine companions!

If you do nothing else today, you must head over to The Christmas Kickstart Challenge to see Cat's fabulous card.

Here are my offerings for the challenge. 

I fell truly, madly and deeply in stamp love when I spotted this little pug from Art Specially. There was quite a bit of fussy cutting involved, but I think it was worth all the effort. The papers are from a Tim Holtz collection that I've been coverting.

My next card makes use of a gorgeous die from Lil' Inker and one of my favourite MFT dogs. The die cut does all the work so this card was very quick to make.

My final card is a CASE of a mass-produced card I saw a while back. I knew I could use a MFT set to achieve the effect of the dog walking in and out of the frame.

I hope you'll enjoy this fun theme and come and join Cat and me for this challenge.
