Snuggle

Hi,

It's a busy weekend in my house - yesterday Harrison went to RSPB Explorers, then i took him to his Cubs event for old Scouts of our unit to sign a scarf (we need 100, to celebrate 100 years of Cubs), today H was supposed to be in a rugby tournament, but unfortunately Alan is not well (he has been off sick since Tuesday afternoon and Monday we are going back to the doctors to sort out an x-ray on his hip, as it still hurts), so instead we are going to                                                 .

Today is the first Sunday in February and that means the start of Penny Black And More and this month the Challenge is 'Anything Goes with a stamp and die/s' and as usual we have some fabby sponsors too :

Penny Black 

Crafty Ribbons

Sizzix

Crafts U Love

And one lucky person using a Penny Black image will be picked to be 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.



Today's image is : Penny Black - 'Snuggle / 3343H / 2005', the die surrounding the image is : Spellbinders - 'Heart Circles', i treated myself to a couple of half price Tattered Lace dies : 'Circle Stepper and Diamond Fold Card' (which i used for the sentiment and the stitched heart), the long row of hearts is : Memory Box - 'Twirled Heart Border', the papers are : Carta Bella - 'Devoted'.

The Challenges I Would Like To Enter Are: 

Penny Black Saturday  - where February's Challenge is 'Red And / Or Hearts'

Creative Inspirations - where Challenge No: 344 is 'Hugs And Kisses'

Simon Say's Stamp - where the Challenge is 'Hearts'

A gr eat shaped card Sam (could be a bit biased here) but your combination of papers and image make for a super Valentines card.

Hope you have a good Sunday and Alan is soon back to rights.
