Hogs & Kisses!

 

Today Mabelle is adding some new, adorable images to the Whimsy & Stars Studio shop.   Stop by the Whimsy & Stars Studio blog to get a look at all the new releases.   Mabelle is also giving away blog candy.    She will be selecting 5 random winners from those who leave a comment on today’s post at the Whimsy & Stars Studio blog.   The winners will win one digi of their choice from the new releases.  Winners will be announced on Tuesday, April 24th.

 

 

As soon as I saw  Loo Loo Ballerina, I had to make a card with her.    She looks so sweet and shy.   As I mentioned previously, my daughter loves pigs.   Her favorite stuffed animal is a pig who has been with her most of her life.  (You can see a prior post about Piggy Boy HERE.)   I’m stashing this card away to give to her on a day she needs a little boost or maybe to congratulate her on awards day at her school.
