Jonathan's Penguin Framed Art

Happy Birthday to my youngest son, Jonathan. 

He is eleven today! 

We are in Walt Disney World today celebrating his Birthday. Tonight we will go to Chef Mickey for a birthday meal. 

I wanted to share what I made my son for his birthday. If you recall he LOvEs penguins. Yes he still likes them. Here is the Framed Art I made for his room.  I am sure he will LOvE it.  

I used the Big Shot and one of  my favorite alphabet the Serif Essentials Bigz Die.

I used just a few punches to create these adorable penguins.

What supplies did I use? 

Well Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Basic Black, and Brilliant Blue card stock; 1/4" Real Red Ribbon; 1 1/4 " Circle, 5-Petal Flower, Small Oval, Large Oval and Wide Oval Punch; and Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper (that's the back ground paper, cute isn't it)

Penguin Treats

I took a penguin (made like the Penguin Magnet) and I glued a Small Flat cellophane bag of Swedish Fish  with a Top Note folded over and stapled  closed  onto the back to make a cute treat bag.

B is for Birthday

Here is a PENGUIN birthday card using Just B and Animal Crackers. The penguin  is sitting on a block of ice that is melting. I had to use some crystal effects to give it a wet look.

Happy Birthday Jonathan! (Penguin magnet)

My baby is no longer a little boy. Jonathan has now hit the double digits. 

For his Birthday I made him this cute Penguin from Sizzix dies and punches. I put a magnet on the back so he will be able to put it on his magnetic dry erase board in his room. 

To make this penguin you will need to cut the following papers with the appropriate die or punch;

Basic Black : 

with  Sizzix Top 

Note die, wide oval punch

Whisper White: with 1-3/8" circle punch, large oval from Sizzix Oval die

Brilliant Blue: with 1/4" circle punch

Pumpkin Pie: with large oval, wide oval

                        

You will need to alter a few pieces before assembling your penguin. Take the Wide Pumpkin pie oval and punch with the 1/2" circle two holes in the center then cut it apart to make the feet. Take the Basic Black Wide ovals and cut off some to make his wings. Fold your pumpkin pie Large oval to create the beak.

Put the pieces together to make your penguin.

Finally adding eyes and wings to make him complete.

Penguin Twisting Box Head

Today my youngest son Jonathan wanted to make a paper craft. He definitely had his heart set on making a twisting box head, but had to decide what to design on it. He thought about a penguin, then a polar bear and even a cow, but decided he really wanted a cute penguin. His first search of a picture, he was able to really see the ideas. Our neighbor Kris suggested looking up Happy feet. We sponged the dark area and colored in the rest with markers. 

So this Penguin head is suppose to be Mumble from Happy Feet. 

What do you think?
