PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE

Hi Everyone

I am a bit earlier today as I am off to sit with my Mum for a while this afternoon (and have another natter and Christmas image colouring session) .. .. and by the time I get back again I will be falling into Mr Blogger's "maintenance downtime" when we won't be able to up-load our images .. .. so here I am.

If there are any dodgy spellings in this post then I am having a bit of a problem with my keyboard.  For some reason the letter "J" isn't working properly.  For a guess there is something underneath the key that shouldn't be there .. .. I need to find the can of compressed air and give it a blast and stand back to see what flies out!!

A little digress because that has just reminded me of a time when my late MIL was having problems printing from her computer.  She telephoned to speak to us in the hope we could talk her through putting right what the problem might be .. .. .. sadly we couldn't sort it so went round the next day .. .. taking our printer with us as we knew she had urgent things to print out.  We spent a while going through set ups etc but no - it still wouldn't work.

I removed the paper that was in the printer (it was one where the paper dropped into a back feeder) and tried to load it with fresh paper.  For some reason it wouldn't re-load.  Closer inspection of the paper feeder revealed a whole "extra strong mint" - lodged into the mechanism!! 

I managed to tip it out and Mum said "Oh, that's where it went" LOL!!!  We had such a laugh and for quite a while afterwards too .. .. .. I don't think there is an extra strong mint under my "J" key though?!?!?!?.

Anyway, back to it ....

Beautiful day today but for some reason my photographs have been coming out rubbish with a blue tinge to them.  I tried a few locations but have ended up just lying them flat on top of stash on my work desk!!  They have come out best of all so that is what I have gone for!!

I wanted to enter the Penny Black Saturday Challenge this week as Debbie has produced a really lovely sketch for entrants to follow.  It was lovely to work with Debbie and will be going in my "sketch folder" so I don't forget how nice it was to use.

Here is my creation

 

This used: 

Image:  Penny Black "1444K" Hedgehog Bouquet
Backing Papers:  Cuddly Buddly Download "Little Miss Daisy Spring 2"
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Button and Ribbon from the stash box

Here is Debbie's lovely sketch

Great sketch and I love the little hedgehog image from Penny Black.  It is useful for so many occassions, birthdays, get well wishes, congratulations, Mothers Day and even "sorry"!!!

Well I am quite well ahead of myself.  Posting done for the day and a lovely  cottage pie made ready for just putting into the oven when I get back from Mum's .. .. and then my treat of the week .. .. The Apprentice.

Catch you all again soon and a very big welcome to my new followers .. .. I hope you like what you see when you visit (but be warned .. .. I can ramble on a bit as you have probably already worked out LOL!!).

Love
