Penguins

Happy Thursday! I worked on a card last night after the twins went home but it got too late for me to add it to my blog. Volunteering at Opportunity House in the early morning and then having the twins for the better part of the day does me in. This morning Tom and I are off to Teacher's Warehouse to volunteer a couple hours, then we'll probably pick up something for lunch to celebrate our 43rd anniversary and then go work on the barn at Baby Creek. The weather is supposed to heat up again very soon and we badly need rain. But every time the twins come we fill up their swimming pool and then water the garden. LOL! So here's the card I made last night.

I made this for a couple of challenges so I did a bit of research on penguins. They are classified as birds and they do have "wings" but they are called flippers. They use their "wings" to fly through water the way a bird would fly through air. So I think this will apply to the "things with wings/fly" challenges. The cute penguin is from Pattie's Creations called Pearl the Penguin. I colored it with Spectrum Noir markers and die cut the image with MFT Inside and Out Stitched Rounded Squares.  The sentiment is from Dee Dee's Digis (out of business) and I die cut the sentiment with Clear Dollar Stamps (also out of business) Designer Labels. The background paper is from American craft and the stripe is from Papers by Lozzy called Micro Dots.I used a snowflake punch to create the snowflake. I used embossing ink and glitter embossing powder to make the snowflake sparkle. I am entering these challenges:

• Pattie's Creations challenge: things that fly
• Sketch Saturday: sketch 
  
• Through the Craft Room Door: anything goes
• Crafter's Cafe: things with wings
• 2 Crafty Critter Crazies: use a critter

I am off to start the day. Hope your day is amazing! Please stay safe and healthy!
