Penguins!

Made another Christmas card for my stash. Someone asked if I really give that many cards...I told them I give them a lot as gifts so they can used for their loved ones. :) I also like to make Christmas thank you's! I like how the image came out...I used a single image of the penguin and kept stamping it free hand to make it look like a tree!! Love penguins...I really like the Madagascar penguins! And I also stamped the snowflakes and added stickles. Have a great weekend!

Hats Off Anya Calendar...

I made a coaster calendar for my secret sister for July. The theme for the swap was 'Red, white and blue' so this is what I came up with. I finally got to use this neglected stamp I got from an RAK! I flipped the coaster to make a diamond shape. I put a magnet on the back and there's my magnet calendar. :) Entered this in the 'Anything Goes' theme at Simon Says Stamp and Show.
Hope you're all having a great week...and thanks for visiting!
