PBSC Week 22 - Sentiment only

Woohoo, it is finally here .... my very first DT card for Penny Black Saturday Challenge ..... how exciting!!! This week is a real challenge for me - no image stamps at all - only sentiments allowed. Eeeek!!!! But on the bright side what a perfect excuse to go and buy a new stamp :o) . I picked this little beauty up at the craft show last weekend at Doncaster Dome.

This weeks prize is a fab PB sentiment stamp kindly offered by Tracie. Please have a look at her blog along with the rest of the design team - their cards this week are truly inspirational.
I have used the sketch from this weeks a spoonful of sugar challenge and made it for my wonderful niece Hannah who is a very grown up 9!!!

I am still in slight disbelief at being part of the Dt and would like to thank all the wonderful ladies for making me feel so welcome.

PB stamp 'Your Day' coloured with prismas and stickles!, paper from Dovecraft's Birthday pack, flowers punched from x cut retro flower punch, balloon die cut from RAK ages ago from an old friend, glitter card from The Range, flat back pearls from Sally, epoxy stickers, ribbons, fibres and brads from stash

Magnolia vs Stampavie

Good evening to you all, I hope you have all enjoyed the weekend and managed to get a little crafting done. I have had a nice weekend and popped to the Dome today in Doncaster to Stamp Magic. I only found out about it a couple of days ago so hadn't saved my pennies :o( ..... but I did manage to pick up some new papers, stamps, ribbons, CB folders and little charms etc so I didn't do too bad. Poor hubby was dragged along and was very well behaved, lol.

Well, have you all noticed the new combined challenge blog yet?? I was excited to hear that Magnolia and Sarah Kay have merged to create a fabulous new challenge ..... Magnolia vs Stampavie . There is a brilliant sketch to follow for this week and I had so much fun using several goodies that I received recently in RAKs for this card. Make sure you read the rules carefully if you are taking part in this challenge to make sure your entry counts .... there is a fab prize up for grabs!

Tracie from Penny Black Saturday Challenge has asked if I would join their Design Team. Wow, wow, wow, I didn't even have to think about it - I said yes straight away!!!! I feel so honoured to be joining such a wonderful team and of course they have the cutest stamps around so that makes me one happy bunny :o)
