Pigissimo and a RAKscrap Challenge


Shabby Princess Spontaneous Delight Kit and Clementine font.



This was made for the RAKscraps Autumn RAKn Party using a template and kit (Birthday Bash) supplied by Neverland Scraps. Font is Encandar.

OK, don't get me wrong, it's very nice of these companies to supply their kits free of charge so we can do these challenges and learn something new, but their kit and their template came bundled with not only a "Terms of Service" note, but also a 'digital flyer' about accepting Jesus as Lord. I honestly have no problem with people having their own opinions, regardless of me being an atheist and earth science student, but I don't need to have these views included in a scrapbooking kit.

That would be like me bundling a kit telling people all about the geological history of the planet and how God is fictious and how Science Works! I just wouldn't do it. What's the point? It has nothing to do with scrapbooking.

Waterloo & Kings College

Yesterday I joined up with RAKscraps who have a forum site very much like UKS, but just for digital scrapbooking. Thought it might be an idea to have somewhere to get digi ideas and show digi layouts as well.

There was a couple of free mini-kits with their September Newsletter, so I did this one with Funky Fresh by Kiss This Designs. The main font is Revolt.



That's another one of the Bath Pigs - Waterloo. He stands outside Bath Abbey. I love that the colours in this kit match him perfectly.

The next layout I made is not of a pig, which is astounding as I'm on such a pigroll at the moment. :) This one is of my Mother (she the small person standing in the corner of the frame) in the Fellow's Garden at Kings College, Cambridge on one of their garden open days.



This is also created from a RAKscrap kit, Woodland Song by Jan Hosford. The font is Rage, although I have to say it doesn't look ragey at all. I was aiming for it to appear as though the font had been stamped on.

Pigs as Far as the Eye can See...


First pig tonight is Carmina.

I think she was probably one of my favourites.

The next pig I have for you is the night side of Pigs Will Fly - the link only shows its day side, but I think the night side is much more attractive.

More Pigging Layouts!


Pig of the West! Bonus points on offer for guessing the joke...

Shabby Princess - Fall collection paper & Express Yourself papers and elements



Turns out that this isn't Happy Pig at all. On creating the link for itI discover that it is, in fact, Suidae Sulis who stands together with Happy Pig. The onsite labelling makes it appear that they're the other way round. Of course, they have had problems with people messing with the pigs (including one who was set on fire!) so perhaps they've been switched over.

Luckily it's "only" a digi LO, so I can always do another. I'd have been rather annoyed if I'd glued it all down in paper...

Most of the papers/elements are by Elizabeth McFarlane and Free Digital Scrapbooking.

King Bladud's Pigs



This is the first of what will probably be a whole bunch of pig layouts. The pigs are part of an art installation around the streets of Bath. This one is the Pig of Paradise.

All papers and elements from a free kit at Scrapbooks Gone Digital by D Philips
Font is Inked God.
