Dancing Penguin!

I can't tell you how happy I am that it is Friday. My week has been a bit trying and I will be glad to see it end! My van was returned to me, but not fixed. It may be a possible reopening of an insurance claim I had when I was rear ended back in November. So now I have to take it back to Toyota and have it diagnostically checked and hopefully get it repaired. It is drivable, as long as I don't let the gas get too low! Anyway, enough of my whining.....

My niece was in a dance recital last spring. She was so disappointed when she was chosen to be a penguin. She really wanted to be a ballerina with beautiful dress......not a tap dancing penguin! I have to tell ya.....she made an adorable penguin!

The paper is Sassafrass and some vintage music paper. I have been really into the tulle lately! I just bought more at Michaels the other day.......just add it to my list of obsessions! I also incorporated some feathers! Love 'em!



The title was cut with my Cricut and the lil' penguin was from my Quickutz. I think I may have actually bought this die cut with this page in mind.
Hope all of you have a great weekend!!!! Thanks so much for visiting me!!!

    What a precious layout...Love it! I read your profile and found we share a lot in common. I teach Life Skills (my 30th year with special needs kids) and on a 4th and 5th grade campus. I LOVE Titanic and can't even begin to count the number of times I've seen it. And, Sparks is one of my favorite authors. :)
    Thanks for visiting and posting on my blog! ---Lisa

    Michelle, this is such a wonderful layout. I just love what you did with this. I am sure your niece will love it.

    I too am glad the week is over. Very busy week for me at work and this is evident because I have not made anything this week.

    I will have to make it up in the next 2 days.

    Hope you weekend goes well,

    Marisa

    Aww...so cute! Anyone can be a ballerina, but it takes something special to be a penguin! She looks absolutely adorable! I love the costume.

    Your page to showcase this photo is just perfect. The colors bring out the photo. Love the layout and all the extra touches!

    This LO is adorable and so is she as a penguin! I love how you included the tulle and feathers, they add so much dimension. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving me helpful tips about taking LO photos.
