Day 2 of Stamps and Smiles...

Hello and Welcome to day 2 of sneak peaks for Stamps and Smiles...Today Jennifer is showcasing Yummy in my tummy and Little Stinker! My card was made using the set "Yummy In my Tummy". My card was left simple, I want it for a male recipient.



I remember as a little girl back in Mexico, My mom grew pigs and It was so fun when the momma pig had piglets, they were so cute, I used to hold them. Just this thought came to my mind when I used this stamp set!
