PENNY BLACK SATURDAY - WEEK 185

Hi Everyone

I am a bit earlier today as we are off out and about tonight for a take-away with friends.

Thank you for all your lovely comments on my valentine make of yesterday .. .. .. I'm pleased you liked it.

Today I am playing along with the challenge over at Penny Black Saturday .. .. .  where the theme this week is "crafty bargains".  

They would like to see you put to good use any bargains you have managed to get your hands on in the sales.

Well you have already seen my main "new year" bargain .. .. but you are just going to have to see it again LOL!!

Here is my make:





This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3347H" Duckling
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Backing Paper:  GCD Studios "Soul Food"
Martha Stewart Punch:  Daisy
Leone Em Pty Punch:  Ash Branch
Woodward Punches:  Flowers
Nestabilities:  Classic Circles Large, Classic Scalloped Circles Large, Eyelet Circles
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
My Trust Sewing Machine
ProMarkers
Ribbon and pearls from the Stash Box

and here is the picture of my crafty bargain.  Good old Dunelm!!!!  I'm going to get loads of crafty makes and happy hours out of this stack!!!


So that is me for today.

I'll be back tomorrow to play along with Di in the snippet playground.

Have a lovely Saturday evening everyone.

Love
