PBSC - Travel / Holidays!

Good Morning!

Thanks to all of those who hoped that I had a good time on Thursday night, I did indeed ... from what I remember! My memory loss seemed to begin from the point I started a second bottle of Red Wine lol

Anyways it is Saturday so that means we have a challenge over at PBSC as usual and the theme is Travel / Holidays!

Now I was going to use a stamp I bought a few weeks for this of a cat in a hammock on a beach but I used it a couple of weeks ago for a challenge card so thought it was a bit too soon to use it again!

So because of this I have decided to go for the Travel aspect of this challenge and I hope you like the result! I kept this card simple so I could focus on the Image.

RECIPE:

Penny Black Stamp

Basic Grey Paper

Ribbon from Stash

Prima Flowers

Roses from Wild Orchid Crafts

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

PBSC - Sketch by Janneke!

Good Morning!

All this week we have been celebrating over at our PB DT Blog and finally we are able to share with you our FANTASTIC news! Kath really has excelled herself!

Since managing to get us a new sponsor she has been in talks with none other than PENNY BLACK themselves! We have always wanted these as a sponsor, it is the ultimate sponsor when doing a challenge blog for a certain brand to actually have the makers sponsor you.

After seeing our challenge blog they loved what we did so we really do feel honoured to have their support!

I do hope you can share our excitement!

All we ask is that you visit the main site and join the mailing club where you receive info on new releases, contests, giveaways and many more. To be honest who wouldn't want to join this club?!

Ok now after all that excitement lets get onto this weeks challenge!

Our lovely teamie Janneke has done a fantastic sketch for us to play with at PBSC.

I wasn't sure my image was going to fit with the sentiment but thankfully I managed to squeeze it all in lol

Also you may notice I now have a watermark on my main images, I've been meaning to do this for ages but never got round to it. What do you think?

I got mine from WHIMSY STAMPS.

RECIPE:

Penny Black Stamp

WOJ Sentiment

MME Papers

Ribbon from Stash

Prima Flowers

Roses from Wild Orchid Crafts

Dew Drops

Thanks for Looking, Have a good weekend!
