Hello Friends and Happy Friday! We are SAFE from Hurricane Nicole and I can say that I now have Storm Fatigue (a term I heard on the news last night). Enough with the Hurricanes please, Mother Nature!
Today begins a new bi-weekly challenge at The Colour Crazy Challenge Blog. Our generous sponsor this round is Conie Fong and I had the pleasure of coloring up the precious Candy Cane Penguin, which was provided by our sponsor.
I'm in a festive mood, ready for the holidays and cannot wait to get the Christmas decor up. It's been a tradition my entire life that we decorate for Christmas the weekend after the Thanksgiving holiday. My husband growls every year when he is sent outside to hang Christmas lights and every year he rushes outside after dark to oooh and ahhh over how pretty they are.
I loved coloring this little guy using alcohol markers; he's an easy color and just so sweet. The designer patterned papers are from Kat Scrappiness and the sentiment comes with the image.
To finish the design, I've added silver sequins for that extra bit of sparkle and shine, all holiday cards need Bling...in my honest opinion. Please visit us this round at The Colour Crazy Challenge and enter for your chance to win a prize from Conie Fong.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
