"When PIGS Fly!"

In my creative brain that could happen,

and this is what it would look like...

You may ask...Why is he named Cincinnati?

There's usually a reason behind every name!

don't discount the possibility that it belongs to a piggy named...
Cincinnati

If you've got ice and snow...

you might relate!

We actually just saw our first snowflakes of the winter today!

However, in Oklahoma the ice is what does us in...we could be house bound for days.

Or we could have a penguin mentality

and slip slide the day away like these two...

Grace and Crunch digi by ARTish

*one of the two Monday Whatnots...What's not to love! digi releases today*

I combined them with this "rotated" sketch from: Sweet Stop Sketches

and this photo inspiration from:
Raise the Bar and these challenges:

Fun at Fairy Knoll all that glitters
Reasonable Ribbon something NEW (digi) +ribbon
Stamp Challenges use a DIGI

to create this card...

So, if it snowing in your neck of the woods...

I pray for you "Grace" on your feet...

and not "Crunch" on your beak!

Be careful!

On to our second digi release for

Monday Whatnots...What's not to love!

Cincinnati Flying Piggy digi by ARTish

Today I'm the Guest Designer for...

Paper Works Co.

What an exciting email to open from Miss Bella

asking me to showcase their latest sketch!

We sort of discovered each other a few weeks ago when I used

a super Sunday sketch for Dr. Feelgood.

With releasing two new digi images each week for the
Paper Pretties

"Monday Whatnots...What's not to Love"

I find myself searching for fabulous sketches...look no farther on Sundays

the Paper Works Co. has gotcha covered!

As the star of my card I chose...

Lil Stinker digi by ARTish

Stamp Challenges use a DIGI

combining him with the sketch...

to create this card...

Aud Sentiments "two word" title...

365 Days This is ROMANCE ...

Seeing the rose in hand reminds me of my blogging debut...
last Valentine's Day!
Wow what a year;
and something about companies that start with the letter "P" :)

Have a spectacular Sunday,
see you tomorrow with two new digi images!

Thanks again Paper Works Co.

I am honored.
