Winter Magic with Crafty Individuals!

Greetings! It's Tuesday, my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. But before I get to this week's theme and my project, I wanted to remind you about Topflight Stamps' wonderful Cyber Monday Sale that runs until 11:59 p.m. tonight, December 3rd! There are loads of fabulous new and old products in the store and I think you should treat yourself! 

This week the team is focusing on Crafty Individuals' wonderful stamps. As you might know, I love penguins almost as much as cats and meeting one face to face is a bucket list item for me. Anyway, once I saw the Pablo the Penguin Unmounted Rubber Stamp, I knew that one day he'd be mine. Eventhough he's a holiday stamp, it would be so easy get rid of his antlers and ice skates, which would add to his versatility. 

Here's the card!
