    morning ladies - can i have your values opinion please on this card:
    070.JPG

    He was made as a birthday card but i have had a couple of comments left about him in relation to christmas.... is it too christmassy for a bday card?

    I think its the scarf but without it he looks naked!!

    He does look a bit Christmassy but then I think all penguins do but then again you get a lot like this so I don't think it matters. I think he's really cute.

    Right REALLY better get back to work now!

    Rusty Can you help - in internet explorer there is a menu options that lets you send a page link by email - how do you do it in google chrome? at the moment I'm keeping an email open and copying and pasting the web address - is there a quicker way?

    Snipped you ... not a clue sorry :( I always copy and past!

    snippedCT I meant to say RM never did deliver the ribbon but it's ok don't worry about sending me more. Our postman is terrible - if he only has one letter for our close he doesn't bother climbing the stairs and quite a lot of my mail goes missing. :mad:

    :(

    PepPop - sorry they never arrived. I keep checking in the shop to see if they have had a new delivery and they haven't yet, but when I manage to get hold of the teddy ribbon again, I will try and send you some more - maybe to a different address?

    So glad it is Friday - had a rubbish week at work, so intend to craft and make some goodies all weekend.

    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.

    I think it's just because its close to Christmas. It would be a nice birthday card in January and people wouldn't say it was christmasy. Its a fabulous card by the way.

    thanks for posting such fab links to freebies guys. I've just updated my bl*g and still need to make loads of halloween cards!
