Gathering

Hi,

You will have to forgive me for not getting round to you all, but just when i thought i had loads of time on my hands with H going back to school - Alan decided to share his cold with me and i'm now feeling 'Ruff' to say the least !!

Today is the first Sunday of September and that means a new Challenger at Penny Black And More   and this month it's 'Autumn Colours'  and as usual we have some fabby sponsors too :

Penny Black

Crafty Ribbons

PPR Papercrafts

FlonzCrafts

And one lucky person using a Penny Black image will be picked to Guest Designer for next month, so pop over to Penny Black And More, check out the other amazing inspiration the very talented team have come up with and join in the fun - but please do remember you can use any image you like, except Digi's. 


This is an image i bought in a sale and i thought it fitted in perfectly with Autumn Colours : Penny Black - 'Gathering (slapstick) 40-264', the papers are very old : Papermania - 'Jesse Edwards Hampstead', the buttons are from stash and the tree die and sticks at the bottom of the image is : Memory Box - 'Twiggy Tree'.

The Challenges I Would Like To Enter Are :

Papertake Weekly  - where the Challenge is 'Anything Goes'

Stempelgarten - where Challenge No: 29 is 'Autumn'

Sweet Stampin' - where the Challenge is 'The Great Outdoors'

Simon Say's Stamp - where the Challenge is 'Stamp It And Blog Hop'

Thanks for looking and for any comments you would kindly like to leave, would be most appreciated, Luv Sam x
