Featuring FQCB #33 Pig and Woodgrain combination due to collaboration with DTCB

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog! This posting reflects my love for country/rural living. Small town living is the life for me!! I've not had pigs to take care of other than a few experiences in childhood helping my maternal grandpa a couple of times, and helping one of my maternal uncles (by marriage). Moving a group of hogs from 1 side of the farm to the other using large boards and shouting 'sooie' was one of those nerve-wracking experiences! Creating a card that combines a pig with some woodgrain is so much easier!!!

WHAT: FarmQuest Challenge Blog #33 theme of pig(s) and DTCB's woodgrain for collaboration

WHEN: July 28-August 13, 2023

SHOW and TELL:


#33 requirements: cute pig digital image + woodgrain (paper behind the pig focal and decorative tape below the floral tape)


1. The Paper Shelter = Piggy's Happy Place digital image; colored pencils; printed on ivory cardstock with a stencil template traced for edging and black marker outlining edging before fussy cutting

2. black foil 'hi' dazzle/sticker = Paper Wishes website

3. pinkish cardstock = My Mind's Eye

4. barn siding paper = Paper Wishes website (Hot Off The Press)

    First of all thank you for partnering with us at Double Trouble... trust this will be a fun challenge for all. Becca, what a cute image and love your layout and inclusion of the woodgrain. Piggy looks very happy in her field of flowers. My experience with pigs... just visiting the pig in their barn space, and not a very pleasant smell... they certainly needed flowers in their space. But then a co-worker of mine had a pet piglet and he was adorable, so cute and small, but within a year or less, he took up a very large space in the dining part of the kitchen bit sure didn't smell like the barn. Thank you for sharing your card with us at Double Trouble.

    What a great use of a digital image, and it is so cute! The little details--the washi tapes and woodgrain background paper--really bring the whole thing together. Thank you for joining us for this challenge at Shopping Our Stash and look forward to seeing you again soon!
