I am a working mum of three very untidy children. Although not sure if 18 still qualifies as a child? but then again from their actions its a yes! I really enjoy most crafts and tend to be enthusiastic but not always competent!!

Penny Black Challenge

Sunday, February 22, 2009



This Saturdays challenge over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge is Get Well Soon
and it is entirely up to you what you make.....a card..an ATC or
altered image.

This is a timely challenge as "Auntie Mary" had a fall early in the week and had to be persuaded to visit the Doctors and managed to hobble in (village about 8 miles from nearest town) only to be told to get herself to hospital for an xray, She is in her late 60's and doesn't drive so the family all helped out and the up shot is she has broken her foot. So hopefully she will like the card and for the first time for ages I have a challenge card I can put to use!!


I used Papermania plain card stock with patterned paper from a K&Co pack. I used a Friskars circle punch - eBay bargain £4 and almost managed to make it join (hidden by embellies)! Florist rafia ribbon & pin from Hobby Craft; flowers from stash; charm was from a multipack off eBay. I coloured the image with Pro Markers :=

Bear - Ivory, Vanilla & Satin
Flower & ladybird - Rose pink & lime

Sentiment I made my self playing with Word (took ages and I forgot to save the File - Doh!

I don't actually posses any PB stamps and the images I have I was sent in a swap but am running out. Is anyone would like to swap some with me please let me know.

Off now to "Dog Days" at the local arboretum with MIL lovely cute, licky, friendly but not too bright cavalier. We are entering the owner & dog looky-likey so pig tails and brown and white clothes here we come ( well actually not me but darling daughter). Have made large flask of coffee as it will be a long day....... other half has miraculously "got to go to work" mmmmmm.....
