Not A Christmas Card

.. yes for a change.. it's not that I won't be doing any more, but for today I got this birthday card which I done for a friend.. and a really quick one too it had to be, as haven't been indoors much these last few days. Yesterday, Christmas Day, first family visiting and then for the day at hubby's brother. Today, out for the day again, lunch out in Valletta and then went to see the Chronicles of Narnia. Fantastic film, we all loved it and a lovely day well spent will family. It's what I love about Christmas and what Christmas is all about ...

But back to my card now, I hope our friend will take the joke .. ha ha :) As soon as I saw these penguins I just fell in love with them and now I thought they were just perfect for the card I wanted.


The fun penguins stamp is from Digi Doodle Shop's Best, the sentiments I just printed off on the computer, and to do the stamping I used my Inkadinkadoo clear stamps set. Doesn't show much, don't get good photos indoors, but there is embossing on the circles and star as well.

    Hi there

    I am thrilled you have joined in my "Free and Easy" theme at Allsorts this fortnight and confess to being astounded by the huge response - over 500 so far !

    I usually like to visit every entry and say a few words about their creations, but the sheer volume so far along with the holiday preparations we all have to juggle means this is a "copied and pasted" message, for which I apologise.

    Wishing you a very Happy New Year.

    Have you entered my new candy
