I love animals…all animals but my loves are my dogs, horses and my dear little pig, Daisy Mae! Daisy had visitor yesterday and they hit it off! Quinn Phillips came to town to visit her Godmother and they came out to our home to pay Daisy a visit! Quinn and Daisy were friend at first sight! Naturally Daisy needs to send Quinn a note thanking her for the blueberries and carrots she gave her!
I admit…I totally bought this stamp set, Button Buddies, just for the pig! Daisy became a family member in November and I will say – It was one of the happiest days I can remember! I cannot tell you why I love pigs so much, but I have always…always wanted a pig! This year I turn 50…age is no biggie to me at all and I have told my family that this is all I want for my 50th (my husband was g iven 2 minature donkeys for his 50th)…even though he didn't want them…I did!!!
After stampin' the pig in black (just like Daisy) I felt the square's were fitting (sorry Daisy … you really aren't square ~ you're a beautiful piggie!!!!)…I punched out the 1" squares with Cherry Cobbler and Marina Mist paper…adhered them to a piece of scrap card stock ~ then ran it through Mr. Big Shot with the Houndstooth Folder to give it a WHAM….just like Daisy! I felt the black was a bit too stark so I framed the sides with a peek of white!
I knew I needed just a short and sweet (just like Daisy) sentiment, so out came the Teeny Tiny Wishes…Quinn…this card is "just for you" from Daisy Mae! I thought it still needed something so I went to my punches and pulled out the ticket duo builder and pop it went ~

it a bit…I peeked out a bit of black from each side! Perfect!
By now you know me….Stampin' Dimensionals were a must for this dear little piggie and sentiment…but…the button makes her! This came from the Subtles Designer Buttons, something that I do not use often but don't know why as they are cute! The best way to adhere them is with Glue Dots! Naturally I need to line my envelope and sooooo easy – just go to the Subtles Designer Paper ( cause' it matches!!!!) ~ Stampin' Up! makes it soooooo easy!
Thank you, Quinn and Haven, for coming out to see my dear Daisy! She loved each and every moment of it…I told Quinn when we go out of town….Daisy could come stay with her!!!! ( Her Mom and Dad are going to love me!!!!)…
