Hello, my friends! I have a wonderful little stack of products purchased over the 'big sale' period after Christmas ... don't we all? These guys wouldn't let me rest until they got to play cards!
Simon Hurley's Playful Penguins from Spellbinders!
Perfect pick for the first Sketch of 2025 at Freshly Made Sketches:
The gals at Color Throwdown #824 couldn't have known
how much I'd love these colors:
Of course, there HAD TO BE TWO!
A snowy backdrop [Waffle Flower] and a tag from my snippets bin combined
beautifully with these dudes and the duo of colors from Color Hues #101:
My friends at Just us Girls have added a new theme to their roster for week #756:
And just like that I've complete my 31st Christmas card for 2025 and gotten back on that crafty horse! It feels so good to be back! I've missed you all so much - and thank you for all the wonderful Christmas cards this year!
Now let's see if I can remember how to add a card to a challenge!?

I'm a huge fan of penguins, and I haven't seen these cuties before. They're just perfect in both color combinations! Love both backgrounds, too--especially the first one. Thanks for dressing two of them up in red and kraft for our Color Hues Challenge!
I for one, have missed you. Welcome back. These are so cute. It seems that you have filled up the space you created already! I daren't start my much needed sort out. I don't think I would get any further than the big mess! xx
It's good to have you back, Michele, and with such a couple of cutie patootie cards! You've got me looking forward to what's coming next. Happy new year!
If there is anything cuter than one penguin…it’s two penguins! Love the embossed backdrops! Adorable cards!
Sweet! Adorable penguin cards, Michele. Especially love the first one backed with the gorgeous snowflake! xx
Adorable! Both of your cards made me smile. Glad you are back! Happy 2025 😊
These have to be the sweetest penguin dies ever. Love the one with his head cocked. Beautiful cards. Thanks so much for starting out the new year with Color Hues, Michele!
I couldn't wait to see what you created with these little dudes after you showed them to me yesterday! You didn't disappoint, these are CUTE! Thanks for sharing one with us at Just Us Girls!
So glad you're back Michele and these sweet little guys couldn't be any cuter!! I love the black, white and gray one with that awesome snowflake behind him so much, but am totally in love with the two sporting the red and kraft colors for our Colors Hues Challenge also! Fabulous post my friend and thanks so much for sharing with us at Color Hues!! Hugs. :0)
Oh my, these are wonderful, Michele! It's so good to see you back at it. I have a happy grin on my face. Thank you for always delighting!
Isn't it lovely to get back to "normal" again? I love your return to creating wonderful cards, Michele. Welcome home. These little penguins are so adorable and fun. I so love that gorgeous snowflake in the background and your sweet little penguin could not be cuter in the outfit you dressed him in.
Oh and the penguin duo in red and kraft is so, so adorable too. Somehow I missed that set, and yes... I did a whole lot of shopping that sale.
Both are absolutely adorable! The snowflake on the first one is amazing!
These cards are just tooo toooooo cute! Can you please send a little moji my way, it's been an age lol. And yes, I've been caught up... in cords... revamping my video set up so that has taken a LOT of thought energy lol.
Michelle, I've just been perusing your blog - oh, my! Every. Single. Card. is fabulous! I aspire to get to your level!
You haven't lost your mojo from taking a break, my friend! Love, love, love these penguins in both color combinations! They work beautifully in black, white and gray! But there won my heart in the Color Hues colors with that sweet tag with baker's twine! I loved seeing this in the Color Hues gallery!
These two penguins are adorable. I love the red cuties. I just love winter stamps I can’t get enough of them. Michelle every card you make is adorable and so much special thought gone into it. ❤️

I'm usually one to use my NBUS right away but I too have a stack of things to put to good use, Michele. Those penguins are adorable which ever color way you choose. Thanks for sharing one with us at Just Us Girls.
I brought these cute guys across the country for 6 weeks and they never left my suitcase. These cards are absolutely fantastic. You just make everything shine! I love them both but the black and white one is just so unusually awesome! Happy New Year to you and Tom! As always thanks for being in our gallery at Color Hues.
SWEET! You just put a glorious smile on my face, Michele, I love these! So joyous, in both color sets!
