Well it's cold but sunny here and i'm just chilling out, after a busy weekend.
I'm so shocked and honoured, as i have just found out i've been picked as todays Daily Spot for Challenge 3-2-1, on Joanna Sheen's Challenge Blog and the card is here.
Today's image is one i saw on an auction site and thought mmm i like that, but i wasn't convinced it was a PB, so i checked it out and found it was from 1997 and it's code was 716E, so a very old one, as you can see i was fortunate enough to win it and i have so enjoyed using it too. The papers are Carta Bella - 'Devoted', I've used Sizzix - 'Easy Peasy' for the letters, the heart pearls were in a pack from 'The Works' and i've distressed it with Tim Holtz - 'Aged Mahogany'.
Today's Card And Challenges Are :
Delightful Challenges - where the Challenge is 'Red And White'
Winter Wonderland - where the Challenge is 'Monochromatic'
My Time To Craft - where Challenge No: 207 is 'Love Is In The Air'
Sweet Stampin - where the Challenge is 'Love Is All Around'
Penny Black Saturday Friends - where February's Challenge is 'Love And Marriage'
Sweet Stop Sketches - where they are up to Sketch 'SSS196' and it was just what i was looking for, thanks
Cutie Pie - where Challenge No: 37 is 'Valentines' - i wasn't going to enter this challenge as well (as i don't like to be greedy), but my lovely friends Sue and Susan, said i should.
Image - Penny Black - 'Lovable Mice' - 716E
Papers - Carta Bella - 'Devoted'
Letters cut with - Sizzix - 'Easy Peasy'
Heart Pearls - The Works
Twine from my stash.
