I 'm popping in at the end of my fun family weekend (sister and her Piglets visited. I am SO tired!) :-) I was able to start a card this afternoon while Sister and I chatted and then finish it up after she left.
I've wanted for several weeks to play with my MFT penguin stamp and "Christmas it up". :D
I combined my MFT Penguins in Paradise set with a Santa hat and holiday packages from the Jingle All the Way set. My sentiment is from Gift Tags stamp set and patterned papers are Lawn Fawn's Snow Day Petite Pack. Behind the cute little penguin, I sponged Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink. I colored my little guy and his accessories with Prismacolor Pencils.
I'm playing along with Christmas Card Challenges, Anything Goes, ABC Christmas Challenges, V- Very Cute, and the current sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.
Well, that's all for me tonight! This post was a quick one - due to lack of brain function as a direct result of sleep deprivation. Oh, that was exhausing. I gotta go! ; ) ha!
Thanks SO much for stopping by to visit -- please do so again soon! I love visitors, comments, and followers.
God Bless,
Mandy

LOVE that cute little penguin on the sponged background. Your paper choices are just perfect - both in their color and their patterns. (I love the hint of black/white polka dot, and the green bokeh!) Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
