Sorry if i haven't been around, but last Monday the painter came in and said he could do our bedroom and computer room this Monday, so Alan and i said 'Yes', then when he left we went 'Oh S**t' we are going to have to clear 11 and a half years of rubbish in a week !!, to say we have been ruthless, is an understatement.
Today we are mid point of the Penny Black And More Challenge for January, which is 'Anything Goes' and the sponsors are :
Penny Black
Crafty Ribbon
Tattered Lace
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.
Alan and I have been invited to a joint 40th Birthday party at the end of the month and this is the first card i've made, the image is : Penny Black - 'Charlie / 40-307 / 2014', the shape is : Tattered Lace - 'Side Stepper Die',the papers are : Basic Grey - 'Basics Kraft Paper Pad', the film strip is : Spellbinders - 'Film Strip / S3-026HL', there is Happy Birthday vellum behind the film strip and the 40 is : Sizzix - 'Fruit Smoothie'.
The Challenges I Would Like To Enter Are :
Deep Ocean - where Challenge No: 146 is 'Anything New' - mine is the image and film strip
Stamping Sensations - where January's Challenge is 'Coffee And Cream'
Dream Valley - where Challenge No: 147 is 'Something New' - mine is the image and film strip
Penny Black Saturday Friends - where January's Challenge is 'Anything Goes'
Darnell's NBUS Challenge - where Challenge No; 8 is celebrating Darnell's 46th Wedding Anniversary, 5th Birthday Blogoversary - my never used items are : the image, the film strip die and the vellum (as it was a complete A4 sheet !!)
Thanks for looking and for any comments you would like to leave, would be most appreciated, Luv Sam x

Purging all those years is a definite challenge! I think I have the vapors just from reading about you doing that, Sam, lol! Your Charlie Chaplin stepper card is such a fun design for a 40th birthday! I love the use of the film strip, too, and your coloring is fantastic!! Well done using all that NBUS and thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #8! Hugs, Darnell

A marvelous stepper card, and I don't believe I would have thought to use this image in such fashion. It's just perfect as you've staged this fella, and love that it's done in the kraft c/s. Love the imaginative way you've managed to display the important numbers in the frame. It's just so clever and well done. Terrific shading & highlights on Mr's costume too! Love it. TFS
Beautiful card and shape. I love the stamp that you have used.
Thank you for joining at Stamping Sensations this month.
Fabulous shaped card Sam. I love the muted colours and how you've used the film strip, lovely idea
