SALS 26: Icy penguins

Good morning lovelies! I hope you are okay? I'm good and happy to tell you that Lucy passed her grading for jujitsu and is now a white belt! Well done Lucy. Unfortunately - I took pictures on my mobile as I forgot my camera - and although I can upload them to facebook - I can't fathom how to get them onto my p.c. - so sorry but no pictures today!!!

There is, however, a new challenge going on over at seemsalittlesketchy and this is the sketch they want you to use.









Its a great sketch that I will definitely use again and again. Our sponsor this fortnight is deliciousdoodles and I chose the image Penguin Family which you can get here.


Isn't it just the most gorgeous image - its like a pencil drawing so it makes for a very quick card if time is tight.
The papers I've used are LOTV.

I'd like to enter my lovely penguin family into the following challenges:

Winter wonderlandchristmasblogchallenge: Card for a man
joannasheenchallenge: Cold frosty
CHNCcraftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge: for a man/boy
IDICrobynsfetishchallengeblog: anything goes
2sisterschallengeblog Favourite Christmas image.
totallygorjuss: Pastel Christmas
Whoopsi daisycutedaisymay: Pastel colours
bunnyzoescrafts: Winter


Well that's all for today - thankyou so much for visiting and for any comments you may choose to leave!

Big Hugs

Rachel xx
