This is my final blog post of the year as I am having a little break over Christmas, and today I have a card and a couple of Christmas cushions to show you.
I love penguins and have a big collection of penguin digi-stamps, but I don't colour them up very often as I always struggle with black/grey, it's either too dark or not dark enough, but I soooo wanted to use this adorable image that I decided to bite the bullet and go for it.
Please excuse the pics, as it is very dark and dismal and I've had to use my daylight lamp.
