CHA Pictures

We've had so much fun at CHA!  Here's a few pictures of our booth...

{I Spy} Thursday!

With all the talk of Glitter, I couldn’t wait to share......the newest addition to the Piggy Tales Family.  Miss Lilyane Margaret showing off her bling…….I can’t wait to use the La Belle et la Bête Collection for this little photo shoot.  The little flowers on the Belle paper are glitter, the dots on Reine are glitter, each pattern has glitter, can you tell that I love glitter just like Brandon…..and of course the glitter rubons!!!  So FUN and so much bling!! 

 

 

 

Have A Great Day!

Glitter Paper & Rubons

What girl doesn't love a little glitter on their paper?  Ask Brandon (Piggy Tales Marketing Director) how much she loves glitter.  After a little nudge and a lot of emails about how much she loves glitter, we finally decided to take Brandon's advice and designed a collection full of glitter paper and glitter rubons.  We hope you enjoy these cards Melanie Douthit put together using the La Belle et la Bête Collection (the pictures don't do it justice).

product feature - "The Ants Go Marching" collection
