I sneaked this one in just in time but woooooo there's a new challeng tomorro!

Thank Goodness for the Cuttlebug!!!

Over on Penny Black Saturday Challenge the theme is embossing.

Whilst I was making this card I thought to mayself "remember when you had to emboss by hand, thank goodness for my cuttlebug as I really dont fancy doing this with a brass stencil" ha ha I was never very good with stencils as they always slipped or I messed up some other way! My card blank is from my stash, no idea where the paper came from (oops) pink & white pearl card stock from paper mill shop, white pearl card has been embossed with swiss dots cuttlebug embossing folder, plain & scalloped oval nesties, Penny Black image stamped with memento & colored with pro markers, Happy Birthday & Make a Wish both PB stamps.

Off now to see what other mischief I can get up to!! x x

Penny Black Challenge & Sketch Saturday

This is the first time I have joined in with these challenges & I will definetly be back to both of them!!

I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with them all when I get back to work but I'll give it ago!

I have followed the sketch at Sketch Saturday and the Penny Black Saturday challenge was to use Black, White & 1 other color so I went for orange. No idea why as I would usually go for pink but maybe its because the sun is shining!!

I hav used a craft tonic card blank, black * orange card stock from the Paper Mill, Orange paper by HOTP & black & white paper from my stash (no idea where I got this from oops!), ribbon from my stash X-Cut large & small flower punch, Papermania black jewels & greeting stamp, & Penny Black Gift for You stamp colored with Pro Markers.
