Hello Dear

Hi,

May I just start by wishing everyone a Happy New Year 2017 - it's a big one for me this year as I will be 50 in April and I aim to celebrate it in style, with lots of events planned and a house move too !!

We have a new Challenge for you today as it's the first Sunday of the month over at Penny Black And More and it's an easy one 'Anything Goes' and as usual we have some fabby sponsors too :

Penny Black

Crafty Ribbon

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.


I made this card for my lovely PB team mate Susan, who has recently moved house and i wanted to use some of the things she loves ;-), image : Penny Black - 'Hello Dear / 40-062 / 2011', i used : Spellbinders - 'Labels One', sentiment : LOTV - 'Set 7 Circular Sentiments - For You', papers : LOTV - 'Pastel Dreams', corner die : Joy Crafts - '6002/0261', the punched edge : MS - 'Floral Lace', the ribbon is : The Ribbon Girls, the pearls are from my stash.

Hello, Happy New Year. I was just at Susie's and saw your comment, so it was easy to zip over to say hello. I LOVE this sweet PB image (it's one I have too), and how splendidly you've showcased it on the card for Susan. Wonderful coloring and the design papers are just perfect with the stamped image. Love the extra touches of the lattice corners, and it makes the motif seem as though one has looked through a window to see the soft clouds in the background with this little couple. TFS & hope you had a great Christmas. Oh yes, 50 is a wonderful Life Milestone. So happy birthday early! My DD will be 50 this year too.
