Hello … bonjour … and bon dimanche! I have a couple of designs to share today that are a bit of fun … and might even bring you a smile 
. After all, smiles are always good for us … maybe even more so than usual given what’s going on in the world. Here ‘s the first …
This was made for someone with a Saint Patrick’s Day birthday … hence the colour palette. The penguins are from The Cats Pajamas and were coloured with Zigs and a waterbrush. As you can see, one of them stands out from the crowd with his dapper jewelled bow tie, black beak and yellow/orange feathers (as opposed to the yellow/orange beaks and black feathers of his compatriots). They’re all standing on a stamped banner from Papertrey that was over stamped with a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp. This is such a fun set that can be used for masculine and feminine cards, depending on what colour palette is used … whoever said penguins had to be black in card making world? Here are a couple of other masculine ones I made using the same design …
… and I’m thinking pink or coral feathers would be good for some feminine ones … and p’raps a necklace or maybe a bow on the hats … what d’you think?

My second design is QACAS (Darnell-ese for Quick And Clean And Simple) …
The crimped frame die cut aperture is from The Greetery … a Penny Black Stickeroo frog leapt into the open space from inside the card (you can imagine my surprise) … and once he’d settled down a little, I nestled the birthday sentiment from Papertrey right by the celebratory balloon. Here’s what he looks like when the card is upright …
… energetic chap isn’t he?
