Eskimo Kisses immediately came to mind with the reindeer and penguins but I decided to go with the feathers this time as reindeers have been featured by me before and I like to change things up a bit.
So I went back to a previous Jingle Belles sketch (see here) and came up with this
Not really convinced about the festive qualities of a penguin (he he) and let's face it, they don't live anywhere near the eskimos or even Santa.... but I guess it'll do!
More scraps used up, another card for the pile.
Happy Wednesday!
This card is so cute,I love the penguin.xxxx
ReplyDeleteThis is terrific! I reallly really really like the way you layered the various BG papers. Very eye-catching. I am inspired by your card :)
ReplyDeleteI have to chuckle about the penguin…my dh & I went to Alaska for our anniversary June 17-July 2. Our dd asked us to bring her a toy penguin. I told her there are no penguins in Alaska; would she prefer a bald eagle, moose, reindeer, etc.? No, she insisted on a penguin. We looked in every gift shop, then actually happened upon a small stuffed animal penguin for just $ 3.99. We even found a t-shirt that said "Alaska wildlife" that had a penguin on it too…strange, huh?
Such a super card, I'm still loving that range of papers
ReplyDeleteoooohhh...lovin' your fun card...great mix of colors and patterns!
ReplyDeleteAwww! I think a penguin is very "christmasey" even though they do live in the South Pole :) Love all the layers and your great paper choices on this, too! :)
ReplyDeleteoof, yes, penguins are SOUTH pole as opposed to santa up north, aren't they? hopefully there's not a serious pole-based rivalry we've yet to hear of, lol! :)
ReplyDeletehowever *AESTHETICALLY* penguins are awesome, and this little guy is particularly appealing, especially as the star of that fabulous KIRSTY sketch! (which i also plan to use again) as usual, you've proven your total mastery when it comes to combining patterns, colors and elements into glorious eye candy. ♥LOVE♥ this!
ps: what a FAB idea to make a book of places you love around home! please please come and link me up when you do--i'd LOVE TO see what you come up with!!! ♥
This is adorable Lisa! I love the colors of the papers you used and that penguin is adorable!
ReplyDeleteGoing off of Junes post...you'd be surprised at how many people ask me if I see penguins here in Alaska. I say yes, I do because my house is covered with them, as I collect penguin items :) I only wish they truly lived here...penguin and moose, I'd be one happy girl!
I love the mix of patterned paper and the cute penguin. Perfect for the challenge.
ReplyDeleteLove that sweet little penguin ... and what a wonderful combination of patterns and colors ... so glad you joined our jingle belles fun.
