Good morning everyone, and welcome once more to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge. Thanks to everyone who joined in last week and don't forget to check whether you have won last week's prize.
Just a short post from me today as I'm still feeling pretty much under the weather, and also apologies because it also means I have not completed my commenting this week. So straight to business ... this week we have got a theme for you...
January Sales
Yes, we would like to see your bargain stash used on your project. Don't forget that the only rule is that you must submit a new piece of work, which must feature a Penny Black image, large sentiment or stickeroo as its main focus. This week's prize is four roll of ribbon of the winner's choice from Fantastic Ribbons, for one randomly drawn winner.
Hope you will visit the main challenge blog to see the fab creations from the rest of the team - here's mine.
I didn't actually buy anything in this year's January sales (aren't I good??) so I reached for a couple of bargains from craft fairs I have visited previously. Many of my PB stamps have been bought at a discounted rate from the "bargain bucket" on the Stampers Supermarket stall at Port Sunlight, including this one. I also got a good price for my MS border punch last year at Aintree craft show.
Recipe:
Main image: Penny Black "Crossing Bridges!" (3206J), coloured with Promarkers and Copics;
Sentiment: Penny Black "the journey" (3177F);
Papers: Papermania "Forever Friends - Spring Time";
Supplies: flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts; pearls from The Hobby House; ribbon from stash;
Tools: large circles and lacy circles nestabilities; Martha Stewart "floral vine" deep edge punch; Leone Em "Ash Branch" leaf punch; Cuttlebug "Daisy pattern" embossing folder.
I would like to enter this for the following challenges:
Sketch & Stash #53 - (new paper; neglected stamp, sentiment, embossing folder and border punch)
Fab 'n' Funky #56 - Animal Magic
Simon Says - Bingo!
Fab 'n' Funky #56 - Animal Magic

Crafty Catz #66 - A Forgotten Stamp
Wild Orchid Challenge #15 - Let's Get Sentimental
Top Tip Tuesday #18 - All Sentimental
Paper Sundaes #52 - Favourite Challenge from the Past Year (3rd entry)

That's all from me - hoping to spend the day with my feet up :-)
