Today is a rainy "Memorial Day" which translates out for me into a perfect day to play indoors. The Merry Monday Christmas Challenge # 292 is to add Penguins to the card. I started racking my brain (which probably isn't a good idea, fragile as it is) trying to think of something, since I don't have penguin stamps. A couple of months ago at a thrift store, I bought a pack of unopened Christmas paper (81/2 by 11) and some other Christmasy items....wah lah I found a cute little penguin that I was able to die cut around. The sketch that I used is from the Paper Players #395. In keeping with the sketch details...the JOY Banner that little penguin is holding is the strip on the sketch. I added glitter to the word JOY...which the little penguin has obviously free styled. I decided to use the gray plaid panel on SU Cherry Cobler because the little dots around the penguin are gray...Snowflakes are embossed on the white panel. I think he is going out to play in the snow! It was such a fun card to make, sometimes simple just works! Thanks for stopping in! Kathy
