Penguin Love

Hello, and welcome!

This is my final posting for Stretch 'n Bubbles, which is sad for me.....I've been on the Design Team for the past 6 months, and have enjoyed myself immensely.....Alison really does draw some very cute images........but she's decided to close the store because she is embarking on a new venture.....but that means there is a MEGA SALE going on at the store.....so if you've enjoyed some of the images I've been using for the Design Team, you need to head over there, and grab some goodies.....when they've gone, they've gone for good!

So, my final offering is this ickle guy.......he's called Penguin Love..........

Isn't he adorable?  I love penguins!

Everything is coloured up with Promarkers, and I used Hot Off the Press papers......I really like those icy blues.......

Seemed right to add a matching tag, and I stuck on this pretty K&CO snowflake....yum.......

How d'you like my bow?....sweet, eh?

Want to know where I got the gorgeous ribbon?  

Well, those of you in the UK will know a store called PRIMARK........for those of you elsewhere, I bet you have a store that sells pyjamas......well, in Primark, pyjamas are sold tied with ribbon....very pretty ribbon.......and it's often just lying, discarded, on the floor.........

You know where I'm goin' with this, don'tcha?.........

NO.....I did not just steal it!!

I picked up a piece, took it to a sales lady, and asked if the ribbons were replaced when the sales people were tidying........she said NO......they don't have time for that........she said the ribbons are collected up, and THROWN AWAY.......aaaaagggghhhhhhh!

Yep, I asked could I have some, and I came away with blue ones, red ones, starry ones, Christmas tree ones, tartan ones.....TONS!

The lady said I should just ask, because it was a shame to throw it all away, and I told her, in my best Arnie impression that I'll be back....she can count on it.......haaaaa!

So, ladies, go get 'em........and show what you get....yaaaaaay!

Hugs,
