Good Morning!
Welcome to a new week and new challenge of "Use Your Stuff" .
This week we challenge you to use stars.
I created a layout of our Mini Pig Hamlet sleeping, using a star patterned BG.
This layout was very difficult to take a good photo of because of
the shiny gold stars.
"Dream Big"
Hamlet is a black pig, well all black except for 1 white hoof … the front hoof on the right side (not pictured).
Because he is black, it's really difficult to get a good photo of him without great lighting, and in this case, it was night time so the lighting was at it's worse...that's why he looks brown.
I love this photo so much and I knew, even if the lighting wasn't the best I needed to scrap it, and I needed to scrap it by itself and in a large size; this is a 6x8 that I ordered through the PL App.
Pretty sure I'm not fitting ALL of 2018 into one album... but I'll deal w/ that problem when I get to it, LOL
Also, I used 99% of my November Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Kit to create this.
Yes, I strayed a bit. I couldn't help myself! When I found that BG paper I just HAD to use it, it was too perfect for the photo! So I used it, but EVERYTHING else is from my kit so I'm counting it!
I know for a fact the CKC Blog is a bit flexible w/ their challenge so it will be just fine; the goal is to get your stuff used and photos scrapped, and I did both!
This makes Project #3 w/ my November Kit.
BTW - poor Hamlet always seems to be scrapped in pink... Oops, LOL
Thanks for stopping by and please play along w/ us at "Use Your Stuff"!

Fabulous! Nothing wrong scrapping Hamlet with pink. He looks very handsome in pink.
ReplyDeleteSeeing him with his blanket makes me realize I don't think you've ever told us the logistics of owning a house pig. Does he have a litterbox like a cat (or rabbit), or do you take him out like a dog? What do you feed him? Pigs are omnivores, but as you've adopted a vegetarian lifestyle now, does that mean he doesn't eat meat either? Is he inside when you're not home, or does he hang out outdoors? Does he follow people around, or is he more of a lone pig?
I'll have to transfer your questions into a blog post so anyone else who is also curious (Julie) can get answers to those questions.
DeleteI'm just not always good at explaining what is an every day situation to me so that "outsiders" get the full picture... I'll try though!
Doreen: Hamlet's layout feature is star-studded amazing!!!! This new challenge theme is terrific because that fits with the November kit at CKC blog, like what you've done. Should be an easy 2 for 1 challenge!
ReplyDeleteDitto Cindy's questions! LOL!! I have always been curious too! :) I love love love love this! LOVING that you captured him with his blanket!!! And I hear ya on photoing a darker animal!! I have the same problem with Dandy. With his black fur, it always comes out funky in photos!! It has gotten easier as he has gotten grayer, but now I have to deal with his glassy eyes as his cataracts are worse!
ReplyDeleteAww...yes, the "glassy eyes" cause photo flaws also. Poor Dandy! I'll try to answer Hamlet related questions in a future blog post!
DeleteI love that pink star paper!!!! fun layout
ReplyDeleteAww.....so cute! He looks like he's having a good dream.
ReplyDeleteP/s: I am curious about having a pig as a pet too. ;)
Such a sweet layout, and perfectly fine that you added to you CKC kit.
