Catching up with Catch the Bug (Thurs)

Today Catch the Bug has a fun Photo Challenge for their Christmas in July Event.

Here's my card with a bugaboo penguin on the beach: 
 I made this card much more difficult than it should have been, all by gluing the seagulls down before stamping the sentiment.  Unfortunately, I used a glue that doesn't come undone with Undo which left that tiny space in which to stamp.  I thought I had a stamp that said 'Warm Christmas Wishes'.  When I found the stamp, it actually said 'Warm Winter Wishes".  That didn't suit me.  So I needed to combine 2 CTMH stamps...
First I put tape over the word winter, inked the stamp, removed the tape and stamped Warm Wishes on the card.  Then I did the same with the second stamp, covering the Merry, removing the tape, and stamping.   Normally, this is when I would mess up the card, but I surprised my self and it came out fine.
Thanks for the thumbs up Poppi Penguin.

Poppi is going to make appearances at the following challenges:
Catch the Bug Christmas in July Challenge - Thursday Photo Challenge
Daring Cardmakers Challenge - Christmas in July
Fussy and Fancy Challenge - Beach Fun 
Morgan's Art World Challenge #3 - Christmas in July
Animal Friends Challenge #28 - Animals at/in/on the water 
Aud Sentiments Challenge #136 - Anything Goes with a Sentiment 
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #320 - Christmas in July
Creative Knockouts Challenge - Outside Fun

Well, that's card number six.  I'll be back with my final card for this year's Catch the Bug Christmas in July Challenge

    Ooops, I mixed up the skiing Santa with the card for this inspiration photo. This image works just as well and actually makes more sense since the Southern Hemisphere penguins are languishing in summer when we're celebrating Christmas. :-D
