Hello - made it to the weekend (seemed like a long stressful week to me) and now it's time for another January challenge at 52CCT. This week we have a recipe challenge for you. Before I show you the details of the challenge please take a look at the card I made using the recipe:
And here's the recipe I used.
Isn't this little guy just the cutest? I think this might be my very last piece of that darker purple paper. I actually had the embossed piece sitting on my desk from another scrapped project. That was my inspiration for the color to use in the monochromatic scheme. I think this penguin looks darling in purple. Don't you think so too?
I really struggled with where to put my ribbon and still keep it CAS. Finally decided to tuck a couple pieces in at the edge. I'm almost embarrassed to say how long I fussed around with that one aspect. CAS doesn't always mean quick in my case - LOL. But I do like how it turned out - finally :o).
I'm also entering my card in the following challenges:
ABC Christmas Challenge - 'A" is for Anything Christmas'
Christmas Cards All Year Round - January Challenge, Anything Goes Christmas
So glad that you came by to visit me today. I hope that you will go visit the rest of our team at 52CCT and see what they have made as well. We have a couple new DT members starting this week. How lucky for us :o) Hope to see your wonderful Christmas card(s) in the gallery this week. Til next time friends...hugs and happy crafting! D

Hi Donna - that cute penguin is a digital image by Bugaboo called penguinjoy.
DeleteThat dark purple card is so rich, beautifully embossed. Love the fat penguin in your sentiment, he's very cute. CAS is rarely quick I think, but it is my favourite style and you nailed it
