PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE

Hi Everyone

I hope your week has been a good one and you have managed to find some crafty time.

My days seem to be settling into a nice routine which is giving me chance to do "a bit" more creating than I have been used to in quite a while .. .. although creations often get done one day but can't be photographed until the following day (when hopefully the sun is shining).

It is also good that all of my crafty goodies are now finally available to me .. .. .. I just need to remember where I have chosen to store everything!!!  I know exactly where everything would have been if I was still in my old house, but the same isn't yet true in our new abode.

The most exciting thing is that all of my Penny Black stamps and dies are now unpacked and ready for playing with again .. .. .. they are my favourite stamps and I have missed not having them to hand.  So as they are now patiently sitting waiting to be played with again, I am off to the current Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the theme is "On or In the water" .. .. .. .. or there is the option of "anything goes" provided it features a prominent Penny Black product.

So here is my offering:

This used:

Image:  Bubbles 'n Squeak - Penny Black "1684K"
Sentiment:  Part of Critter Party Clear Stamp Set - Penny Black "30-013"
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat (sadly no longer trading)
ProMarkers
Corner Rounding Punch
Ribbon
Hot Fix Nail Heads
Diamond Stickles (for the bubbles)
and of course .. .. My Trusty Sewing Machine

Enjoy your weekend when it arrives - they certainly seem to be coming round very quickly these days!!!

    This is really sweet Jules - you can’t go wrong with a vintage PB stamp and this is so beautifully coloured xx

    I am glad to hear that you have all your supplies available and sorted now. I feel for you trying to remember where to find them. I spent some considerable time searching for something last week. I new I had moved it but couldn't remember where. I searched my whole room twice before I found it. Your little soapy mice are very cute and that bow make a lovely finishing touch xx

    So cute! That image is so sweet and I love the big bow. I had the same issue (and still do sometimes!) when I did a craft area redo. Knowing exactly where it was before does nothing to help me find it now. (:
