Brrrrrrr.....

Baby it's cold outside! If I haven't mentioned it before (yeah right!) I love this cold weather! I have absolutely loved the chill in the air these past few days, too bad it is warming up again. I've been reading on the CK site that some people have had snow, I am soooooo jealous! I am hoping for a little snow this year, maybe around Christmas???? I think we had a dusting last year and that was it, maybe the weather man will make up for it this year and finally give us a good snowfall!

Let's get ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas! It doesn't seem right to post a Christmas card before Thanksgiving but I have been wanting to make a card with this adorable little penguin from Cricut's "Joys of the Season" cartridge. Why not make it out of felt? I added some white seed beads around the white part but of course, it doesn't show up in the photo. Maybe if you click on the photo and make it bigger, they will show up. I used Making Memories Fa La La papers. The stars are a sizzix die cut with chipboard, then glittered. I made some french knots all down the left side with some sparkly red yarn I had. Oh and his little nose is made from felt, edged with some french knots also. Now off to work on some submissions and another card!

Thanks for looking!
Annette

Love the rows of nosh down the left side...so fun. And, yes, the beads do add a special touch to the penguin. They have penguins at the St. Louis Zoo and this little guy/girl is just as cute!

OM-Goodness! This is just the cutest! Brilliant making that penguin out of felt...I want to pet him (-;
BTW Thanks for the kind words for my "Mediocre" card. Sometimes it's hard to find the beauty in your own creation.

How cute is that! We had a little snow earlier this week... Just a dusting though, but that was plenty enough for me!
