Sunday 7 July 2013

Penny Black & More @ Allsorts

The first sunday of the month and the start of a new challenge over at Penny Black & More @ Allsorts - the challenge this month is 'Dies & Punches' you can use any stamp you like except digi's.  One lucky winner using Penny Black stamps will have the chance for an extra prize and also the chance for a Guest Design spot.

As always the Design Team have an been busy and have some gorgeous inspirational pieces to share with you so do check out the challenge blog here you will also find all the challenge rules there too.

This monthe we have been generously sponsored by Penny Black, Whiff Of Joy, Flonz Crafts & Stix2 - so lots of prizes to be in with a chance of winning.

This is my card for you, some of you will recognise this stamp that l used for the CAS challenge, it is so cute and takes hardly any colouring :)


Stamp Penny Black Hobble & Cuddle 2896H
Coloured with copics & prisma pencils
Papers LOTV/Nitwits Perfect Pair
Dies - nestie square & scallop, Cheery Lynn Flourish, cuttlebug corner
Punches - MS border, SU oval & scallop, Flowers - xcut & woodware, Kars Butterfly
Stickles & Gems
Flonz butterfly stamp in bottom RH corner.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:-
A Little Bit Crafty July - Die-ing For It 
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes + option of animals (3rd entry)
An Oldie But A Goodie - Butterflies (all punches had a long time)
Pink Gem 87 Lots of Layers
Crafty Friends 7 - Summer

What a scorcher of a weekend - hope you are all enjoying sunshine or shade.  I was out yesterday on a Taster day with my son Michael for the National Citizen Scheme - what an amazing programme that is, one week residential in Thirsk then one week at camp at Brighouse (not far from here) then one week of 10-4 and coming home each night where they work in teams deciding what voluntary work they will do in the community then wk 4 will be carrying out that work - all for an amazing £50. I think l paid full price as some had paid £35 but l think it will be the best £50 ever spent, this includes all transport and food - amazing. If you have a 16/17 year old and live in the Yorkshire region l think there are places left . At the end there is a graduation and a signed certificate from David Cameron - all can be added to  a future CV too. 

Thanks for stopping by and for your comments x Susan x
