With Sympathy



It's been a while since I've had the time to play along with CAS-ual Fridays, and I've missed it.  I'm so glad I could play CFC #36 in honor of Penguin Awareness Day, since I am a big fan of penguins.  I see them at Seaworld every chance I get, and even spent the night in the penguin exhibit (along with a whole troop of Girl Scouts) a couple of years back.

For some reason, this particular card popped into my head, and insisted on being made.  I had lots of other ideas, but didn't have time to work them out.  This idea came fully formed, and the card made itself, so this is what I'm going with this week. 




Supplies Used:
Stamps:  PTI Peaceful Garden
Paper:  PTI White
Other:  Sizzix Embossing Folder, Memory Box Arboscello Tree Die


Thanks for Visiting
