Monday? Already? Wow, time flies!!! Each month our CCEE group chooses an unusal SCS name, make a card fitting that name, and mail it to them. Cindy Haffner picked Orangegymnut, and she required us to use orange with the theme having to do with the gym. Now, I thought about taking this a whole different direction and doing a gymnasium...like basketball or something, but I decided to use this cute little penguin instead.
Now, the sentiment is in no way shape or form referring to Tanya, since I have no idea what she looks like. I just thought, for me...the middle is the hardest to work on. So I found this quote by an unknown author and thought it fit this chubby little penguin. The dumb-bells are just circle punches with an 1/8 inch strip in between.

Don't listen to Hootsie, Tosh; I would never do such a thing! (wink)
This penguin reminds me that I need to work off my chubby middle! Yikes! Where are my hand weights? Will those take weight off my middle if I sit in my chair and lift hand weights while posting comments on SCS?
Love your sweet card, Tosh, and the sketch design. Did you hand draw your floor? It looks cool!

Yeah...I agree with Hootsie...she's gonna try to get it! I know she will! She will do anything for penquins, even illegal stuff!
I can really relate to this card...in order to get in shape you have to get in shape! That's why I never go there! This is precious....I love it and so will Tanya!

Very cute, Tosh, I love that sentiment. I think someone has been paid to watch Tanya's mailbox to pick out the card from California before Tanya has a chance to check the mailbox herself or maybe this someone has bribed the mailman.

I'm so sorry for not commenting sooner! For some reason your card isn't in the gallery link that Cindy sent me. I just LOVE your card!!! That lil' penguin is so stinkin' cute! The sentiment is just great! Yes, I do need help with my middle! lol. I have to ask...did you hand draw the floor he's standing on? How did you do that???
Still out in CA and will be until the end of July...looks like I'm going to have some great happy mail waiting for me!
Thank-you ladies!
