It's Teapot Tuesday #700! And we're celebrating with our neighbors. Sadly, it's also Snietje's last challenge for us. She has challenged us to make a Christmas card and bring it to a neighbor. I've combined this challenge with today's color challenge--lovely colors and I even got ribbon for dessert! Speaking of ribbon, I also combined with Jeanette's "Family Ties" VSN challenge. I loved that show! How could you not love Alex P. Keaton? I used a family of penguins and some coordinating ribbon.
I've already sent Christmas cards to all the neighbors that I like, so this one will go to my neighbors across the street that I don't really like that much. It is a time to spread good cheer after all. Peace on earth, good will toward men and all that.

I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with your card or your generous spirit to your so-so neighbors. Both are stellar. Love your fun penguin family and adore the layers you used for this great layout. And, yes, I did love Alex.

I love your penguin family!! and love the idea to drop this oh so pretty card in your neighbor's letterbox, even if you don't like them very much, that's also the spirit of Christmas.
Thank you Jen for being a great Team member during the last years, sure I'll continu to play.

Family Ties-one of my favorite shows back in the day. Your penguins are so cute all snuggled up close together, and they seem to be feeling the holiday spirit, just like you! Warm fuzzies for sure~

Oh, you are just a hoot! There is much to love about this card. Your coloring is perfect and I'm faving this to remember how you layered them on smaller background. I've got to try that sometime!

LOL at the neighbours you don't like that much! They still get a beautiful card, those penguins are just so sweet and the colour challenge works perfectly to give them a chilly winter look.
