This Little Piggy loves Crafting Forever

Hey Y'all!
I am so excited to share this card with you!  Although I really hated having to send it!  Last week was a tough week, and by Thursday I was drained.  Well, a very dear friend who just so happens to be me Stampin' Up! Upline had a demonstrator meeting that I totally forgot, I mean it wasn't even on my radar!! My phone was on silent, so I didn't hear it when she called and texted.  She lives 45 minutes away, so there was no way I could go.  Y'all ever done that?  Please tell me I am not the only one!  The bad thing is, I was really looking forward to it, at least I was the week before when I knew it was coming, and it was still on the radar, so to speak!
Well, here is my apology card.  If you've got to apologize, at least make the card fabulous, right?
This is a card I have been wanting to case since OnStage.  It was a card that someone in our group received as a swap.  It had the pig holding the pen like it was writing, and I just loved that concept!  In fact, I didn't have the set Crafting Forever until I saw that card, then I couldn't wait to get it!  I wish I knew the demonstrators name to give her credit.  It was at Onstage Atlanta 2018, so if you received one of her swaps, or know who she was, please leave her name in the comments below!
I stamped just the bottom portion of the pig stamp onto the soft sky panel, then stamped the pig again onto Powder Pink.  I fussy cut the little guy and the pen (colored with Stampin' Blends), then popped them up with dimensionals.  The white embossed stamps are from the Make A Difference stamp set, which is a new item in the 2018-19 Annual Catalog that goes live June 1st.  But you can preorder it now in the Share What You Love Bundles available until May 31st.  Did you know the bundles contain free products! Make sure you check them out here.  A word of caution: there are some TINY stamps in that set, be very careful.  Comment below if you have any tips on keeping up with tiny stamps, because I sure need them!  See that apostrophe?  I spent over an hour looking for it!  It was stuck in a groove in my Stamparatus!
The Soft Sky color is retiring at the end of May, as well as the Petal Passion DSP (used in the bottom panel.) But everything else will be available in the new catalog.  Those piggies are just so darn cute!
I hope my project inspired you to get crafty, and brings a smile to your face.
