Christmas Pig

Hello Nomad friends.  How you holding up??  Ready for the big day??  Almost Ready??  Far from ready??  Pulling your hair out???  Given Up???  Will be glad when it's over???  Only a few more days and we will all be wondering what the fuss was about.  But first, a pig!!!


I think pigs are a Norwegian christmas thing but I have been told no.  But what about the marzipan pigs? Well, yeah, OK we have those.  And all those rafia pig models??  Well, yeah we have those too!!  And that is definitely a pig in santa outfit clutching a gingerbread man stamp??  Well, yeah........   So I'm sticking with the idea that a pig is for christmas here in the snowy north.  OK, no snow, just quite north.  And then there's the sentiment.  Sending you a christmas hug and hoping that it finds it's way!!   Obviously a lot is lost in translation cos in Norwegian it's actually quite a fun and sweet sentiment LOL.    

Bazzill Avalanche card, panel smoooched in distress ink and edge of an acrylic block to make some inky marks.  Some gold twine wrapped around for essential xmas bling and then Kort og Godt Pig stamped and fussy cut.  I coloured with distress inks, Promarkers and gel pens.  Ths sentiment is actually from the snowman set (see last and next post) and the Ho Ho Ho I used on the last post snowman card is from the pig set.  Working together beautifully.  

Cookies need baking.  Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

I too would never have associated a pig with Christmas. But the Santa Claus suit looks good on him. ;o)
