Pile It On! Challenge - All about 'P'

The theme of this week's Pile It On! Challenge is:

'All About 'P'!'

We want to see lots of things beginning with 'P' on your projects.

Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp

The prize is a $15 voucher to spend in their fabulous store!

I found this cute penguin called 'Waddle Francis' by Digistamp Boutique in my digi stamps folder...and coloured him using watercolour pencils, adding Stickles to the snow, and around the edge of the circle. I used my Cuttlebug 'Snowflakes' folder for the embossing, my EK Success 'Scalloped Diamonds' punch for the purple border, and added a polka dot bow over the top. To hold the easel inplace, I added a few black adhesive pearls.

You can see the sparkle a little better in this photo:

P...P...Pick Up a Penguin

Do they still make Penguin chocolate bars??? I couldn't resist that title for this post...as I've used a cute little Digistamp Boutique penguin called 'Waddle Francis' on today's card. I coloured him with watercolour pencils, to match the colours of the My Mind's Eye 'Countdown to Christmas' papers. I thought I'd try a different (for me) shape of easel card...using just one normal square card blank with the image popping up above the fold, and I quite like it...certainly quicker to make than a traditional easel card.  I used a Penny Black sentiment popped up on 3D foam pads to hold the card up, and added a few pieces of Card Candi, and a piece of ribbon from my stash.

Challenges for this card:

• Paper Sundaes - Pop it up
• Prairie Fairy - More than one fold
• Totally Papercrafts - Don't be square
• Winter Wonderland - P is for... (Penguin)
