PENNY BLACK SATURDAY - CHALLENGE 125

Hi Everyone

Up and at it nice and early this morning and one of my first jobs on a Saturday morning is to have a look at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge .. .. .. any excuse to drool over Penny Black images LOL!!! 

The theme this week is to use triangles or zig-zags on your project -  so for good measure I decided to use both.

Inspired by the DT work I thought I would jump straight into the challenge and here is my creation





This used:

Image:  Penny Black "4092K" A Thorny Affair
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Backing Papers:  Cuddly Buddly "A Patchwork of Papers - Red"
Martha Stewart Punch:  Embossed Zig-Zag
ProMarkers
Glossy Accents
Woodware:  Mini Bells
Ribbon from the stash box
Diamond Stickles

So my share of the day is done nice and early today.

A beautiful sunny day here so the washing machine is going on overdrive and hubby is off to watch his football team .. .. they are doing quite well this season so hopefully he is going to see a good game.

I have sat and watched Anice from Funky Hand live on the TV (managed to see some of my creations) and now I really must get showered and dressed before the day is gone and I have spent it all in my PJ's!!!!  Shock horror!!

Have a lovely day everyone.

Love

    Absolutely lovin your Christmas cards, Jules but for some reason your blog is making me write in my URL and Name every time I comment so I am just going to leave this one last comment on this occasion. My fave, by the way, was your star wreath - from our house to yours - it is beautifully elegant! Warmest wishes, Lesley

    My favourite colours Jules so I am in love with this right from the onset!

    Another lovely thing is that Ive got 1 set of papers from CB and they are the reds as here so its great being able to see how they show up! Must give them a go pretty soon, thanks for the nudge!

    I can NOT believe Wagner is still in the show but then again just remember those daft twins from last year! This is the part that I struggle with! I find it hard to believe that there isnt any vote fixing!!
