PURPLE PENGUINS

I made a mistake yesterday when I said to pop by to see Courtney's Challenge. We are taking the week off for the Christmas Season and New Year Celebration! Happy NEW YEAR!!!! I hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas season. My husband is home on vacation this week, so we are staying up late, sleeping in and doing some things around the house. As much as I love having him home now, when he returns to work it will be nice, so I can resume my normal routine! ;) I asked him yesterday if it would be disrespectful to say he screws up my MOJO FLOW? ***giggle*** He just said, "HUH!?" I think that is something only us stampers can appreciate.
I made this card with the CUTE Penguin Hugs stamp set from Sweet 'n Sassy. I also grabbed my Hocus Pocus Black Magic Co'ordinations cardstock for this. I just LOVE it!!! I sanded it a bit and the purple popped out! Then I used the Purple Co'ordinations regular cardstock as an extra layer and paper pierced it. Added a touch of bling (ok...maybe a bit more than a touch) around the top portion and along the bottom. This was actually scraps left over from a Snowflake card we made last month at a class I held!
Today will be one filled with preparations for our New Year's Eve gathering. Some cooking and cleaning and I *hope* some stamping too. Don't forget to pop by tomorrow! It is NOT only the BELLI CHALLENGE DAY but we are starting the BLOG HOP and celebrating our 2008 Design Team and featuring them! I will have a new stamp set revealed each day, so come on by! Also, each of the NEW Design Team (including me) will be giving away a Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps NEW RELEASE stamp set!
Thank you for coming by! Have a fabulous day!

fun to find purple beneath to help you pick some colors to go with- too funny about the dh being home, mine too- driving me a bit nuts! I can only imagine our retirement!

Mine is on the verge since three months of lay offs from two back to back jobs. May have a stamper in our midsts; I can hope!
Hey, this hug makes penguin life look doable! Purple at that! Nice touch bling.

Oh girl, I KNOW what you mean! Josh is off for the ENTIRE MONTH OF JANUARY. Yea, I can kiss my mojo goodbye. That's why I've been killing myself these last couple of days!

Love this card, the bling is great and what could be better than using scraps?
