Little Wooden Penguins - What a Bargain!

I found a pack of these very cute little wooden skiiing penguins in the Ipswich branch of the Range last week reduced to only 50p. There are 16 in the pack with 4 different types - and I couldn't wait to use them!

I coloured them with Promarkers and then teamed them up with bits

and pieces from my stash to make a whole set of blue and green based Christmas ATC's. 

Modern & Bright ..

Not my usual style, but I wanted to use up some freebie papers from a magazine and get out of my comfort zone! 

I think these Christmas cards will probably end up going to some of the teenagers in the family.

Christmas is Coming .....

So it is time to dig out the Christmas stash, the snowflakes and the glitter and start making some cards, because before you know it, it will be the night before Christmas and you will still be rushing around making Aunt Mary's card!

My friend Laura and I got together on Monday and had great fun swapping bits - she has got a great collection of embossing folders so I spent ages cranking away at the Cuttlebug. Laura had never tried Promarkers  - so she sat there colouring little robins! 

There was also time for a piece of Chocolate cake, because I'm sure Chocolate aids creativity!
