I start making winter cards and the weather warms up into the 60s! Crazy!! We had a few *really* cold days (well for early November) and now we are in this nice warming trend......going to be a crazy one this year I guess..hopefully though the FEET of snow we had last year won't make a reappearance. But if they do, this little guy is ready! I always think of my niece when I make anything with penguins on it. She loves penguins and really who can blame her? They are so cute! This little guy is no exception either. He's all bundled up for the cold in his little hat and fluffy jacket. He looks all ready for a romp in the snow doesn't he? I used this week's Color Throwdown #118 for my colors and the sketch is the super fun Mojo Monday sketch for this week. I LOVE this sketch!!! I will definitely be using this one again. It makes for a super cute card that you can make as simple or as involved as you like. LOVE it!
Materials used: short stacks (stampendous); crumb cake, soft suede, cherry cobbler cs (SU); blending paper (xpress); cherry cobbler dp (SU); tuxedo black (memento); copics; cherry cobbler seam binding (SU); nestabilities; snow flurries embossing folder (SU)
I am SO looking forward to this weekend! My hubby is off of work and I am looking forward to having another adult here to balance out the kid to adult ratio *wink* The kids have been running me ragged this past week and a half (being sick didn't help that either)...The little guy is into everything and trouble just seems to find him at every moment and the little lady? Well she's just constantly on the move and keeping up with her social schedule is enough to make anyone tired *wink*
WIshing you a very relaxing weekend! Thanks for stopping by today :)
