Altered Penguin (Stampin' Up): October 2009
http://alteredpenguin.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 20, 2009. Pretties from Regionals - just a few of them. Here's one of the reasons we go to regionals - to find out what clever things others are doing. The Sock Monkey stamps set has been a running gag amongst the Gail Force Stampers (I know, it's rude, but we thought it was just a bit of a silly one). And then Danielle Scholtz makes this! A really appealing card using that set. I am just loving the bananas! And she's managed to restrain herself to a fitting palette, which looks fab.

Altered Penguin (Stampin' Up): New Stuff, and some of it penguin-oriented!
http://alteredpenguin.blogspot.com/2010/09/new-stuff-and-some-of-it-penguin.html
Monday, September 20, 2010. New Stuff, and some of it penguin-oriented! So, enjoying the lengthy breaks between posts on this blog? Yeah, me too! Plenty of good stuff to share though, so let's go! There's a new catalogue! There's a link to it here, and of course, I can provide you with a lovely printed copy. And here's one highlight - the new OWL PUNCH! That's a new, BIG, woodgrain background stamp. I've stamped it twice, just of register, in two shades of brown. Nice stamp. Notice the dark brown? Click ...

Altered Penguin (Stampin' Up): August 2009
http://alteredpenguin.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 21, 2009. This is a nifty technique Flick. Taught me. She was demonstrating at the recent Quilt and Craft Fair (you've gotta go to those shows, there's demonstrations a-go-go - at least, there are when WE go! The faux 3d effect is quite eye-popping! It looks like the image is embossed (that is, traced on the back with a stylus, so that the image stands up, enough to cast a shadow). But it's totally flat! Let it dry, or dry it off with a heat tool. The butterfly stamp from the Great Friend ...

Altered Penguin (Stampin' Up): Green Birds and Apples
http://alteredpenguin.blogspot.com/2010/10/green-birds-and-apples.html
Sunday, October 10, 2010. Green Birds and Apples. My lovely mum called the other day, with a special request. Could I make a thankyou card for the medical clinic that was so helpful on their last holiday? Well, sure I could! And to make things easier, she told me the clinic had very pretty decor, which she described. I googled as we talked, and soon I was looking at photos of Apple Tree Medical. In Cairns. Wow, she was right, a pretty clinic! I went for smaller dots. Here's the final card:. I don't alway...

Altered Penguin (Stampin' Up): November 2009
http://alteredpenguin.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 15, 2009. A special ATC for Paperific. I was very happy to attend Paperific simply as a stamper this year - not working or running a stall. Ah, what fun! I made some ATCs for swapping - wanna see? Now, if you are keen of eye, you will notice that the stamps I'ved used here are NOT from the current catalogue. They are "retired" (that's so much nicer than saying "obsolete"). So here's my little essay on "retired" stamps. So when I'm representing Stampin' Up, or at a SU! Have a look at the ...

Altered Penguin (Stampin' Up): May 2010
http://alteredpenguin.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 29, 2010. Me and Shelli - Convention news! Here's an awesome picture - ME with SHELLI. Boss of Stampin' Up). She was in Sydney for the convention, and of course so was I. Gail nudged me over to have a photo taken with the great lady, and she was polite enough to pose for everyone who asked. I showed this to Jeff, and he just looked blank. I told him it was like him getting a photo taken with Steve Jobs. While Steve hands him an iPad. Posted by Pauline Laing. Monday, May 24, 2010. Jeff and I...

Altered Penguin (Stampin' Up): February 2010
http://alteredpenguin.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Little Houses from the Good Neighbours set. I've been at it again. Here's what I made when I tinkered around with the Good Neighbours set from the Sale-a-bration catalogue. Now, who wouldn't want to make a table full of these? Did you know you can get this stamp set for FREE? Posted by Pauline Laing. Monday, February 1, 2010. So she threw down the gauntlet. She asked us to open our Summer Mini catalogues to page 16, and look at the "Kaleidoscope" decorative paper there&#...
