Piglet and the Red Balloon

Piglet is up next in the Winnie the Pooh series of birthday cards. I think Piglet is kinda cute, maybe because he is pink, maybe because he has big ears or maybe because he wears a sweater, who knows.

I used Glossy Dimensions on the balloon to give it a shiny finish, obviously this would have been before the balloon that Piglet had taken to Eeyore for his birthday had busted *okie winks and nods head at her cleverness*.

The patterned paper is double sided Bo Bunny and since I only had one sheet *okie shudders at the thought of messing up the last sheet of paper during a project* I had to use it sparingly and wisely. I cut the mat at 4 x 5.25 inches and then cut 2.5 inches off, which is the striped paper. With the piece that was left I cut a .75 inch piece off and used it at the bottom and the other at the top *okie wonders if that makes sense and then just shrugs her shoulders and keeps on typing*.

I kept trying to find a quote about the red balloon that Piglet took to Eeyore for Eeyore's birthday but since I am not a Pooh fanatic *and okie means that in the best sense of the word* I didn't know where to look for such a thing.

I was finally able to found a sentiment that I thought was suitable for a birthday card featuring Piglet and believe you me *okie always wonders what 'believe you me' means but figures it has to emphasis importance* it was not an easy task!

So I figure you guys have figured out the pattern here of my posting and know what will be coming tomorrow! So until then....*okie tries to think of something clever to say but gives up and just smiles and waves* BYE!

  9. Like the paper! Too bad you don't have any more of it! LOL!

    The sentiment really makes this card. It's perfect for a birthday.

    Since I don't have the Pooh cartridges...is there anything on them related to the 100 acre woods?

  15. Well, "BELIEVE YOU ME", this is a darling card!

    (hmmm ... I'm suddenly very curious over the phrase "believe you me" ... does this mean that we should also use the phrase "wonder you me"??? Good Grief, now I'll be pondering this all day!!!)

    Anyway, great card Okie ... I love this image of Tigger ... but you have to wonder (or is it "wonder you me"???) what he thinking ... with his legs turned that way, is he just being shy? Or is it perhaps "tinkle" time?

    Hugz,
