Good morning paddling chums. Hope that you are all well. I noticed things have been little quiet of late. Hope its because you are doing fabulous and exciting things (either that or I have bored the gilding flakes of ya lol!!!
Thank you for your comments on my last card. I'm not big on green normally but I do like the CE Brunswick Green for Christmas.
Now today we have the latest challenge over at MAWTT and the lovely Janice has picked the theme which is . . . . . . . . .drum roll . . . . . . . . .Hats and Scarves!!!
Your creation must feature both (greedy girl Jan lol!!!)
Hope that you can join in or that you can pop over to see what my fellow team mates have come up with.
I reached for my trusty Hunkydory Christmas packs again as I don't think I have anything else featuring a hat and scarf (apart from a snap of Mr Duck last Winter).
Ingredients
White card
Red card
Hunkydory topper and snowflake paper
Docrafts snowflake embossing folder
Mei Flower red ribbon
CE Dazzler (looks like a Jelly Tot)
Cosmic Shimmer Berry Red PVA Pearls
Now confession time. . . . . . . . . . . .they say its good for the soul.
You can see that the cute little fella is wearing a lovely hat and scarf ensemble. Well, on the original he wasn't. I thought that the stripey thing that the polar bear is holding was a scarf.
It was only when Mr D said "isn't that a sock?" that I had a closer look and heavens to murgatroyd it bloomin was !!!!!
Well, after a visit to Specsavers, I didn't have time to dig out something else so I used a bit of artistic licence (and red felt tip) to draw a scarf on the penguin. . . . . . . .well, I think its a penguin but with my eyesight, it could be a goat lol!!!
I hope you can forgive my little adjustment.
Please join us over at MAWTT. Would be lovely to see you there.
Well that's me off for a few days as, barring further incident (I did bump my head on a shelf yesterday but that's another story), I'm off to Ally Pally on Friday.
Plan is to maybe give the CE team a hand (may be more of a hinderance hahaha!!!) behind the scenes so if anyone is going, come and say "Hi". . . . . . . . . I'll be the one with long hair and a slightly bruised forehead lol!!!
So, be good and take care.
TTFN

Ps..........I have put this on a bit early. MAWTT doesn't wake up until 9am (having a lie in lol!)

Great save Ang! I must admit that I thought it was a scarf at first glance (and I actually was wearing my specs!) I had a further, closer perusal and hey! Mr Duck, you are absolutely correct!! Go to the top of the class and sharpen the rubbers!!! Anyway a great card Ang. Have a great day on Friday. Hugs Christine xx
ReplyDeleteAs always Ang, your posts bring a smile to my face! I''m glad Mr D has got my back covered and has an eye out for challenge cheats!!! That said, if you hadn't pointed it out I too would have gone along with the cheeky polar bear pinching the goat's scarf!!! Love your card before and after alteration and hope you are enjoying your few days off, Jx
ReplyDeleteThe scarf look fin to me! A good job Mr Duck noticed.
ReplyDeleteJan and I will be a Ally Pally on Saturday so we'll see you ther.
It was good to see a name I recognised in Sue's draw.

Hi Ang,
ReplyDeleteLovely card today, I must admit I've got tons of Hunkydory stuff and have slightly gone off it since discovering Sue Wilson dies and John Lockwood's stamps, plus I've discovered Heartfelt creations sets oh my there is no hope for me.
So Hunkydory stuff is in my grandkids craft box except the card and snowflake acetate.
Congratulations on your winning one of Sue's sets of dies.
Enjoy Ally Pally and try not to hurt yourself, you remind me of one of my Daughters always one accident or another.

Morning Ang,
ReplyDeleteWell done on your win, lucky girl enjoy your die set.
Great card even if it's a sock.
Hope you have a great day at Ally Pally too.

Mrs. Duck, it's not that obvious that it's a sock - so don't worry, congrats on your win too.
ReplyDeleteWell done Ang, never had know had you not told us. Gorgeous anyway though.
ReplyDeleteCan you let me know your them on MAWTT I will add for you if pushed for time,xxxxx
hi there Ang, well I would not have noticed, even on enlarging it still doesn't look all that much like a sock, but your little adjustment is fab. I love your card, such cute creatues and a wonderful layout too.
ReplyDeleteHave a brilliant time at Ally Pally, and it's quite right that you've been invited to appear on ther stand, LOL afte all the marvellous samples made for John. Congrats on your win too, Kate x
That's very kind of Kate to say but I think "appearing on the stand" is probably bigging up my part hahaha! I'm just helping behind the scenes lol!

Hi Ang,
ReplyDeleteI look at your blog everyday, but up until now I have never commented, I just can't hold back any longer , you crease me up with your wording and phrasing, you are like a good tonic and you never fail to make me laugh....Long may you continue.
So I am now officially paddling with you.

ReplyDeleteHi Ang,
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful card.
I love that fab image and your wonderful designing too.
Oh you do make me chuckle so with your way with words.

Now that's the both of us off to the said opticians. LOL.
Enjoy Ally Pally.
Oh I do wish I could go this year, but I am not able too.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Hi Ang,
ReplyDeleteMy eyes are so bad that I couldn't see the bear, never mind the penguin with hat and scarf!!!!
No, that's not true, you've made a super little card that's cheerful and puts me in the mood for Santa.
I once bumped my head on the top of the car door (don't ask) which immediately came up like an egg. That was ok, it was when the black, blue, green and yellow bruising appeared around my eyes that I felt very self-conscious!!! Of course, I blamed George ha ha.
Enjoy A.P. you'll be safe as I can't go.
