Holiday Penguin Family

Here is a penguin family holiday greeting card.

I used the colors of red, black, green and white in this.

Front sentiment:  From our family to yours!

Inside sentiment:  May this season bring peace & joy for all!

I followed the My Creative Time Inspired Sketch Challenge in their Facebook group. 

This little penguin family is a favorite of mine.  The trim was stamped with tiny candy canes for a chalkboard look.

To me, the card and sketch resemble a postage envelope.

Supplies:  My Creative Time stamps and dies from A Day In December, Get Schooled, From Our Family to Yours, Stitched Rectangles Frame Dies & More, Stitched Squares Inside & Out dies; BasicGrey paper and sequins.

Have a great day.

Penguin Window Holiday Card

Here is another holiday card with a little penguin in the window.

I think this will bring a smile at Christmas.

Front sentiment:  Don't get your tinsel in a tangle.

Inside sentiment:  This is as MERRY as we get.

This one features penguin and sentiment stamps that came free with a recent Unity order.

Gotta love the ever flowing Unity generosity.

Hello My Pretty Little Friend Wine or Gift Tag

This is one of  the tags I'm making to go with Halloween favors and to tie onto wine bottles.

I get to host bunco in October, so this is just one of the goodies so far.
This measures 4 1/4".

Sentiment:  Hello my pretty little friend.

Fun, isn't it?

Holiday Candy Jar in Watercolor

This is the first holiday card by me this year.

Hopefully the first of many.

One of the things I enjoy receiving in the mail at Christmas are cards and photos from family and friends.  I especially like the the surprise of seeing a personal touch, the hand written note, a handmade card or tag.

Endure Encouragement Card

Recently, I made this card for a friend.

I searched for just the right words to go with this pretty flower.

Front sentiment:  Endure, you can make it.

Inside sentiment:  Perhaps strength doesn't reside in never having been broken, but in the courage to grow strong in the broken places.
