Pink Pengy…

Hey everyone!

I’ve been a little under the weather lately, but if ANYTHING makes me smile, I adore this cute penguin from “Penguin and Tree” image from Gillian Roberts.   Have you seen Gillian’s ADORABLE collection of cute, fuzzy, and festive critters on the Stampavie website?  They are so adorable and just make me want to hug them!!

Have you noticed the trend in the use of non-traditional Christmas colors this year?  It’s all over the place…the Designer papers, cardstocks, and embellishment lines are SUPER fun and right up my alley.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I love red and green as much as the next person, but I really love the use of brighter, bolder colors for the holiday season and also the use of softer colors such as pinks and blues which you’ve probably seen, too.

I used a nice mix of traditional AND non-traditional for this card, including YELLOW.   You might say “REALLY?  YELLOW?  On a CHRISTMAS Card?”  Well, one of my FAVORITE lines this year is Cosmo Cricket’s “Jolly by Golly” and yes, there is YELLOW.  PINK.  AQUA.      LOVE IT!

Speaking of pink, who doesn’t love a pink penguin?   Can you tell I had a BLAST making this card?   I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.  It makes me smile    Thanks for sticking with me today and I will talk to you all soon,
