Mama Elephant Anniversary Blog Hop & Giveaway

Hello Friends, How are you? Did you have a nice weekend? Today is Mama Elephant’s 3 day blog hop celebrating their new release and their SEVENTH Birthday. It’s such a beautiful release and I am honored to take part in the blog hop.

If you are coming from Lucia Cao ‘s blog you are in the right place. To start at the beginning of the hop go to the Mama Elephant blog here.

Playing  with these frosty sweet penguins called, “The Penguins Waddle” was sooo fun. Aren’t they adorable! I wanted to have some fun and color a rainbow of penguins.

By the time I filled in the nooks and crannies my lil guys resembled a darker rainbow with one spotlight penguin. The sentiment stamp set is called, “Written in the Snow” is so clever and I love the scale.

    Love this – the way you used the 3 main colors on the 3 rows of penguins makes me think they are in a choir, with the penguin in black being the solo singer…although the rest of those little penguins are not paying proper attention. Just the cutest card; TFS!

    Really neat thinking out of the black penguin box…. It reminds me of a believe party for the biggest penguin who you happened to color black. Whatever the story is in your mind as you colored, it’s a good one!
