Penguins and Lily-May's First Christmas Card

I do love penguins!


I had a toy one as a kid and he went everywhere with me.

Now, as an adult, I can't resist a cute penguin stamp. Last year it was the Hobby Art Christmas Penguins and this year I just had to have Archie & Pals (also by Hobby Art).


I used it with the Claritystamp Letter Box stamps to make this card for my great-niece. I hope she will like them too.

A while ago I shamefully admitted that I'd bought a couple of cards but they were so cute I couldn't resist them. I have a M&S calendar in my craft room that has the most adorable little felted creatures on and I spotted that they had Christmas cards in the same design. One of them was perfect for my hubby...........


......but it had this on it.


That's nothing a crafter can't fix though and I soon had it looking like this.


Before I go I thought I'd share this too. I had a go at recreating the first photo yesterday (getting on for 40 years later). We haven't aged a bit!

  1. Love it Lynne, i remember your fab design last year. Bought the embossing folder you used, but it's still sitting in the cupboard. Oops perhaps next year! Have a wonderful Christmas and look forward to being inspired by you in 2014. Elaine Phillips x

  5. Aww! I love penguins too! I used to go to Edinburgh zoo quite a few times a year and it was great to see the penguin parade, they would come right up to you.
