Here I am with my Penny Black Challenge card for this week.
The theme is "Hearts Desire". Lots of options as to what you can do with this. But I have chosen to make a Christmas card with a lovely sentiment. I love Christmas very, very much (and all that it entails) and as a family we look forward to it all year because it is a time when we know we will all be together - so this would be my "hearts desire" - for everyone to have a wonderful Christmas.
Here is my creation:
Image: Penny Black 1873H "Xmouse Ornament!
Sentiment: Penny Black 3502F "A wish"
Background paper: Pink Petticoat "Tis The Season"
Quickutz "Swirl Swirled Heart Die"
ProMarkers
Brads, ribbon and Glamour Dust from the stash box
I bought this little chappie last year and didn't get chance to use him - but I know he is going to be a very busy little mouse this year!!
I hope you all had a great Sunday. Mine has been spent visiting my Mum as it is her birthday today and helping to clean the house my son moved out of .. .. .. they have to hand their keys over tomorrow and hopefully in return will receive no deduction from their deposit.
I arrived not knowing which of the two women I was from the TV programme "How Clean is Your House". But they were happy for me to be either or even both!!. Thankfully nothing was bad enough for me to have to send a swab to the laboratory LOL!!!
It was quite sad to leave at the end - the parting of three good mates who have now "moved on" in their own directions but they will stay good friends .. .. I just know.
Catch you all again soon and thank you all for calling by.
Love Jules xx

Morning Jules
Lovely soft colours, I think blue makes such a nice change for christmas cards.
And I figure you didn't struggle with the whole heart thing as I did, even your sentiment fits the theme brilliantly.
Have a creative day.
