Playful Penguins Warm My Heart

These sweet little Playful Penguins will be gone soon with the Year End Clearance, so if you love them as much as I do, you best get them before they are sold out!

Today's card is one of our cards from this weekend workshop.  For our card today, it can be used as a simple friendship card or a Christmas card.

Recipe:
Whisper White Thick cardstock - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Gold Foil cardstock - 4" x 5 1/4"
Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper - 3 3/4" x 3" (attach at the top of the Gold Foil)
Whisper White 3 3/4" x 5" - tear into pieces to look like snow hills.

Whisper White scraps to stamp and fussy cut the penguins.  No dies for these guys, but they are easy to cut.  Just remember to leave a little border, it looks better that way.

Want to know what warms my heart more than these penguins?  You guessed it, my sweet little Granddaughter, Lovelia.  She came to our workshop with her Mommy and I loved every minute!  Look how big she's getting.  2 months old already!

Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Monday!

You're So Cool

Let me first explain why I've been MIA and sporadic in posting here.  First hubby had eye surgery 2 weeks ago, so there's been a lot of caretaking there and my time really got away from me.  Then this past weekend the crud found me starting with a sore throat that quickly went to a chesty cough that has been simply miserable for sleeping and functioning.  I actually managed to get in to the doctor's assistant on Veteran's Day and was given some powerful cough syrup that seems to be doing the trick.  Between that, Mucinex, lots and lots of sugar-free Ricola cough drops, fluids and resting when I can, I feel a little better, but the cough is horrid and my ribs hurt from it.  Ugh!  Do not get this, it's terrible!  It doesn't help that the air outside is so thick you could cut it with a knife.  Smoggy, terrible thick gunk in the air.  It's a wonder anyone can breathe!

So, on to the penguins!  I just love the little penguins from Playful Penguins.  This is just one of them of course, but keep your eyes open for more.  They are all so cute.  When I first spotted them in the 2019 Holiday Catalog, I knew I had to have them.  We enjoy watching the little penguins on "The Zoo" on Animal Planet.  They are all just adorable!

Recipe:
Cherry Cobbler - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4" (it looks like Real Red in the picture)
Designer Series Paper -  Regals Collection (Cherry Cobbler) die cut with Stitched Rectangle 4 3/8" x 3"
Whisper White - die cut with 2 1/4" x 3 1/2" Stitched Rectangle
Whisper White - 4" x 5 1/4" - inside panel
Whisper White scrap for sentiment
3/8" Diagonal Stripe Ribbon

Don't forget to dress up the envelope too!

Thank you for looking in today.  Don't give up on me... I'll be posting as I can.  Sometimes it just seems like one more step is one too many!
