Snow Fun Penguins



Hi, Friends.....

Happy New Year to you all! I have been busy sorting and reorganizing my craft room. I have so much stuff!!! Eeek! January is a great month for getting things back in order after the holidays. I have tons to do in my craft room, but it already is looking better.

I'm here to share my first 2020 Christmas card with you. The lovely Jo over at Christmas Kickstart already has her first challenge of the year up and the theme is Penguin Parade. I remembered I had this adorable retired Echo Park-Winter Wishes collection that had some penguin stickers in it, so I got it out to play with.  I used a sentiment from a new stamp set I picked up on Christmas clearance.  Yay!

I already had the background made and sitting in my stash, so this was a fast card to put together. Don't you just love this sweet little penguin family!!?? I put on some sparkle by brushing Wink of Stella over the snowflakes and adding sparkly rhinestones.


Supplies used include:
Sentiment from bargain rack stamp set at JoAnn
Versafine ink in Majestic Blue
Echo Park - Winter Wishes collection (retired)
Pink & Main Scallop Waves die set
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set
Sparkly adhesive rhinestones from my stash
Wink of Stella pen
DCWV scraps from my stash

Jo is holding her Christmas Kickstart Challenges open all month for the first half of the year, so we have plenty of time to make an entry (or two or three). I hope you will join in the fun!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you have a wonderful start to a wonderful New Year.

🖤
Janis

  1. Happy new year, Janis! I'm delighted to see you playing again in 2020. Your card is gorgeous and I love the penguins in their hats, scarves and ear muffs. I never think to use stickers - how clever and cute. Thanks so much for the kind words you've left on the blog. You are a sweetheart and I so appreciate all the help you've given me with CKC. Your friendship across the miles is something I treasure, Jo x

  8. What better way to welcome the new year than with a trio of bundled up penguins?! I really like the plaid snow dunes for a cozy look..and I wouldn't mind adding that blue knit scarf to my own wardrobe either.
