Penguin Love

 Happy Saturday, y'all!  The hubs and Ryan took Daphne out for a walk so I'm by myself in a quiet house...momentarily at least : )  I would have gone with them but I had just made a cup of tea and was sitting down to eat breakfast as they headed out the door.  So I shall enjoy my solitude for a few minutes.

I have a pretty CAS card today that's for multiple challenges *and* is the maiden voyage for a retired stamp set I bought at least three years ago?  Here it is:


This stamped penguin kind of looks like a crocheted penguin that Ryan got at a craft fair a while back.  The photo is a bit dark, but the scalloped circle behind the penguin is Cherry Cobbler; the lighting in my craft room next to the windows has been weird since we got all the snow.

So I hit two Just Add Ink challenges:


I used pens (markers) to color in the penguin's beak, feet, and heart, and of course there's some patterned paper on there too.  I couldn't resist using last week's sketch again too:


Love this one, it's a classic.  Next up is the Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge:


I only used the teeniest bit of Pumpkin Pie for my penguin and otherwise I stuck strictly to the challenge colors.  And I chose my penguin thanks to the Cupcake Inspirations challenge:


I actually have several different penguin stamps from which to choose, but I went with the one from Cold & Cuddly just because I hadn't used the stamp set before.  Next up is the Addicted to CAS challenge:


I found some nice snowy patterned paper in the A Walk in the Forest pack and thought it looked great with my little patterned penguin.

That's it for me today, peeps!  Hope you have a great day.  Sounds like everyone else just got back home...
