OK, I really don't know whether to thank the talented gals over on CCEE or not, the challenge this week was a suspension card...can I just say I am still picking glue from my fingernails, and the hair on my head is still standing on end...AACCK!! I know this is probably a simple technique, but I had extreme difficulties with it...mostly because I am not good at following written instructions, and I could not get my punch centered in my paper, after I had already planned the card!
But, other than that, it is cute, don't cha think? I love this little penguin image a dork sister gave me...and this was the perfect occasion to have him spinning...too bad I didn't have fishing line, that would have fit this theme perfectly!! Anyways, thanks for the challenge, and thanks to Linda B, another friend, who gave me the stickles ice, ribbon and papers...too pretty!!

Such a precious card! Hee! I am right there with ya on the written instructions Traci! Maybe it's a dork thing! Anyway, your spinner card is wonderful and I think if you had fishing line it would just get all tangled up! Speaking from experience, I should say!

Oh, what a hoot you are, Traci! I can just picture you with all that glue! In any event, I'm glad you persevered cause you know I love da penguins, and this little guy is adorable! I love his blue, snowy sky and that pretty ribbon, too! Dork or not: you done good! :-) Thanks for playing with us!

Love the technique here Traci- gluing yourself to a card. I'll have to try that! Your image is adorable. Love this card!
