Penny Black Challenge - Flowers

Hi everyone,

I was chatting not so long ago about this stamp, saying I hadn't really been happy with the way I've coloured it in the past, but this time I'm happy. I think I was using too much colour before so I've chosen a softer peach and used my Copic markers. So here it is for this week's PB Challenge.


Any way back to clearing up the garden tomorrow, so no more crafting!

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Penny Black Challenge

Hi everyone,

Here is my entry for this great challenge, the '100th Penny Black Challenge'. Lucky for me I had already coloured the cat and stuck in onto the scalloped edge circle. This was originally for the PB Challenge a few weeks ago for Monochromatic Browns, but I never got a chance to finish it! As usual it's great to see all the wonderful creations by the PB Design Team and what other people have made.

The sentiment on the card is by 'Stampin up'. Pop over to Jackie's blog to buy more of these lovely stamps, papers and lots of other great things.

Hope you've all had a great weekend.

I love these little buttons by PaperMania and I thought they went perfectly with the paper I've chosen. So here is my entry for the PB Challenge - buttons galore!

Copic Challenge - apricot, blue and copper

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a great Easter. What wonderful weather today. I made this card this morning just before taking the kids to the beach. It was lovely and really hot and the kids really enjoyed themselves. This is the first time I have entered a card for the Copic Colour Challenge. I love using these pens so it's a great challenge for me.

Thanks for looking,

Penny Black Challenge -

Hi Everyone,

I haven't been blogging for a long time now but when I saw today's challenge I thought I would put this card on the PB Challenge. I made it a few weeks ago after I bought this stamp at the Stevenage craft show and as it has a little bit of gingham check on it I guess it fits the bill!

Hope you all have a lovely Easter and if you get a chance pop over to Gill's blog who is this month's Guest Designer, she makes some really lovely cards. I would also like to say a big thank you to Tania who left me an award back in November. Your cards are beautiful so it was lovely to get an award from someone so talented.

Christmas - Two Challenges

I'm still trying to get my Christmas cards done so it's great to find a couple of challenges with the theme 'Christmas', 'Everybody Art Challenge' and 'Papertake Weekly'. Here's my little 'Gorguss Girl' with the addition of a santa hat and my new 'forest scene' stamp in the background, the sentiment is a Penny Black stamp. This is amazingly organised for me with my Christmas cards, I'm normally scribbling them out at the last minute! Bye for now,

Whiff of Joy Challenge 56

Here's my card for this week's Whiff of Joy Challenge. I made it a few days ago but I've been busy and the light hasn't been too good for taking photos when I've had the chance. I loved this sketch and I needed to start making my Christmas cards so I thought this would be a good time to start. I've added a tree and some snow to the background to give it a more festive feel! Hope you've all had a lovely weekend. Bye for now, Michele x
