A CARD FOR TWO CHALLENGES

Hi Everyone

I hope you have all had a good Saturday.  It has been lovely weather here .. .. in fact so good that my lovely hubby gave the lawns their last cut for 2010!!  The mower has officially been put to sleep until next Spring.

Can you believe that we are also still picking tomatoes?!?!?!?  Unbelievable .. . and there is no heat in the greenhouse to help them along .. poor things!!!.

So a card today to fit into two challenges today.

The first is the Bee Crafty's Card Challenge where they would like you to work to a sketch and the second is the Penny Black Saturday Challenge where this week the theme is "All my Favourite Things".

The sketch was easy enough to work to but as for using my favourite things .. .. well my card would be hideous if I used "ALL" my favourite things .. .. .. I have far too many!!  So I have just had to stick to a few of them .. .. .. as in lots of hearts, snowflakes, some of my fav colours and of course "any" Penny Black image would be a favourite.

Here we go then






and this used:

Image:  Penny Black "1505H" Wishes for Kisses
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Backing Papers:  Cuddly Buddly
Hobbycraft Punches:  Snowflakes
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Sizzix Die:  "655088" Buckles
Die Cutting Frame - Go Kreate No 151005
ProMarkers
Crafty Notions:  Dew Drops
Diamond Stickles

and here is the sketch  (which I flipped).


We are off out tonight for an Indian meal with two friends who we haven't been out with for quite a while .. .. busy lives keep getting in the way .. .. so we are due a really good catch up.  It will be lovely.

So no X-Factor for me tonight .. .. and no blog hopping .. .. but there will be Garlic Mushroom Puri and Chicken Pasanda  (I always have the same thing LOL!!!).

Right I had better get linking and then go and make myself look presentable.  I have 30 minutes.  Hopefully that will be enough time!!!

I will catch you again tomorrow and will try really hard to catch up with everyone's blog.

Love

    Super card. I love the bp and the use of the die to make the top border. Fab image too.
    I think our lawn's missed it's last cut of the year. Far too wet now so it will look a mess over the winter (again).

    Ooooh I like this sketch and I love your card. Lovely in lilac! Super colour work, Jules. I have lots of PB critters but I struggle to colour them well and therefore don't use them as often as I should. Hugs, Lesley
    ps - my nail was photoshopped to make it whiter - it looked very yellow against the white of the card but it is my nail!

    I've been up in North Yorks again Jules and I see you've been on a marathon make while I've been away. They're all smashing but my absolute favourite since my last visit has to be the Forever Friends one. Just love the little birdy!

    Good luck with filling all those boxes, buddy.
