Waddle we do in 2018?

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog.  Being a brand new month and a brand new year, it's time to introduce our new challenge hostess which is Liz Williams. 

I am excited to be back for another year of fun challenges with my CCEE Stamper friends.

“Waddle we do in 2018?” Use a penguin or other animal that loves the cold.

I had a different penguin options I could have used for this challenge. I had planned to do one thing that I had purchased recently, until I got another penguin related item. And then that all changed when I was watching the video of Lawn Fawn's Woodland Critter Huggers die set which allows you to make at least 6 different animals - a fox, owl, squirrel, raccoon, deer, chipmunk. While I was watching the video I thought it would also be fun to tun this critter into a penguin, and as this die set had already been ordered and on it's way I decided to use that for the challenge.

All I had to do to turn the Woodland Critter Huggers die set into a penguin was to cut the ears off. 

This card is fairy smallish measuring 2 1/4 inches x 3 3/4 inches when folded.

I added a sentiment to the inside of the arms which is hidden when the card is fully closed with the penguins arms folded.

I also added an ice-cream to the penguins arms which helps to hid the sentiment banner when the arms are folded.

The sentiment is from one of the other sets that I was originally planning to use for this challenge.

I attached my penguin to a folded card and then added a birthday sentiment. This sentiment is from the first stamp set I had planned to use. So in the end each one of the items I had thought about using got to be used.
