Explorer

Hi,

Today is a very special day, as it's my lovely other half Alan's Birthday and poor him he is spending the day coaching the U9's, including Harrison at a Rugby Festival, later on we are going out for a Thai meal.

Today is also the start of the new Challenge over at Penny Black And More and this month fortunately for me (as it's also mine on Wednesday) is 'Birthday's', yipee nice and easy and as usual we have some fabby sponsors too :

Penny Black

Let's Create

Be Creative

Sizzix

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 and 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 the card i made for Alan, i've had this stamp : Penny Black - 'Explorer / 40-212 / 2013', for a while, but i couldn't find suitable papers and brads, till i came across these : Bo Bunny - 'Detour', and i also treated my self to the fabby die : Tim Holtz - 'Globe', the unusual edge is : Penny Black - 'Stitched Edges Die / 51-136 / 2015', the passport die is : Cuttlebug - 'Disney Bon Voyage', there was a big Mickey face on it, so that was covered with a brad !!, the sentiment is : LOTV - 'Sentiment Tags'

The Challenges I Would Like To Enter Are :

Shopping Our Stash - where Challenge SOS 245 is 'Something for the Big or Biggest Boy'

Cardz 4 Guyz - where the Challenge is 'Something Begining With A' - I have chosen Atlas and Aeroplane

Simon Say's Stamp - where the Challenge is 'Anything Goes'

Make My Monday - where the Challenge is 'Going Round In Circles' - Mine are the Brads and Globe / Atlas

Thank you for any comments you would like to leave, would be most appreciated, Luv Sam x
