i like you & some news

yay for friday! :) i bet you guys are as ready for the weekend as i am! :) i'm always ready!

i made today's card for the latest challenge at 2 sketches 4 you:

what a great sketch! it lets you be pretty flexible i think!

here's my take:

i wanted to use my new stamps from lawn fawn - critters in the snow (they're so cute!), i just had to figure out what to do with them! :) then i saw that ribbon (that i bought from the dollar section at target!!) and it hit me - make a winter themed card in summer-y colors! :) this card is a total juxtaposition: i mean, snowflakes in summer colors? lol! but i love it! it is very citrus-y and fun! and that's how i came up with the sentiment (i used harold's abc's from lawn fawn again)! it's just fun!

i paper pieced the penguins and then used some white felt for their bellies - so soft!

on a side note: i was chosen by kim at off the wall craftiness to be a guest designer for her blog!! oh my gosh - it's so exciting!!! i can't wait, and i wanted to share the awesome news! *squeal*

have a great weekend!

enjoy!
