This post today is just to introduce you to the new team and let you know what's coming next week! It was so hard to figure out what design would define me - or introduce you to me if you are new here.Even though there will be a new sketch every week the challenge is monthly!

I decided on this cute little penguin from ... get this... the name of the set? "Rice Rice Baby!" Of course a penguin is going to like sushi right? I chose this little guy mostly because he makes me smile. I like to color and the clean design makes this so easy for anyone.
I also love layers and lots of little embellishments on my designs. I wanted to add a little "Asian" flair, so I dug up some of my treasured Basic Grey Konnichiwa paper. I know red is lucky in Asian culture and have lots of pops of it on my design.
I wrapped some Twinery Solid Natural Twine around the card the same way you would thread a loop through a tag - feeding the double ends through the loop and pulling the ends to secure them. Adding some glass e beads on the ends of the twine makes this fun and adds color.
Are you ready to meet the rest of the team?
I think this is going to be a fun adventure! Don't you?
