It's HAM-demonium!



So, more from the Land of Social Distancing -- it's HAM-demonium!  I'm seriously going to have to shelve This Little Piggy and give another set a chance.

The alphabet dies are an old Sizzix set, Girls R Weird -- I love the happy look and the double layers.  The daisies are each made of four punches from the Medium Daisy punch.  I curled the ends with a bone folder and added a Perennial Essence floral center to each.  Those centers are so realistic and really add to the project!

It's a HAM-demic




There's so much angst, panic and worry with the CoronaV that I decided to have a little fun on my self-isolation.  My last project was using This Little Piggy, so pigs were on my mind!  I couldn't decide on whether to have a piggy HAM-demonium or a HAM-demic, but the piggy's themselves decided -- it's a HAM-demic!

The serial-killer letters for the banner are cut out from Well Said and adhered on to the banner.

When Pigs Fly...




There wasn't any real basis for this card -- I just wanted a pig, then the flowers and fence.  Before I knew it, a pig with glittery wings and hooves was flying overhead in an eyelet sky.  Weird times...

Vintage Post







I've heard that less is more, but sometimes more is simply more!  The initial inspiration was the peeled wallpaper effect, but the vintage post card and cherry blossoms had to become part of the general mayhem.  Other extra bits were the postage cancellation stamp from Winter Post (retired), the stamp from Postage Due (retired), The text is from Fanciful Fragrance and the filigree from Very Versailles.

I can't remember where I found these non-SU pearls, but I love them for vintage pieces. They're pinky-beige and just right to use against Petal Pink.
