Penny Black Romance

Last Sunday I went to the Stevenage Stamparama, dropped off my assignment to Stamp Addicts, and bought quite a few Penny Black stamps, all of them a bargain with many different themes, so there is no reason for me not to do the Saturday Challenge. Here is my entry this week which is, of course, Romance. Incidentally, the new Stamp Addicts show, which is due to air on Create and Craft on Saturday, 21st February, is featuring 'Stamps by Judith'. It'll be worth a watch.

Thanks for looking.

Friday Sketchers - You've Got Mail

Hi there, I'm back for the Friday Sketchers and I have used two of the stamps that I purchased from Stevenage last weekend. The dog is a Penny Black and the 'You've Got Mail' sentiment is from Impression Obsession. The Manila panel to the left I have made into a envelope which holds the message.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

Sketch and Stash #3

Hello everyone.

Here's my entry for Sketch and Stash #3. The cardstock is from my stash. It was a wonderful buy from Costco last year, you got 300 sheets of double sided 12" x 12"cardstock in a zipped carrier with an accordion folder inside. In fact, I bought two so that I did not run out.

Thanks for looking.

I've been tagged

Hi there. I've been tagged by my blogging friends Glenda (Aardvarkpest) and Louise (Craftylou). Thanks girls.


The rules are:

1. Navigate to where you keep your pictures; select the 6th folder and the 6th picture in that folder.
2. Post the picture on your blog with an explanation of your picture.
3. Tag 6 others to do the same and let them know that they have been tagged.


So here is my picture:

It's of my dog, Holly. 'Chops' is here nickname. In this photo she was taking a nap on one of her favourite toys, her squeaky duck. She looked so cute I just had to have a picture and as I took it, she opened her eyes. 'Please do not disturb' is the look she gave me, so I didn't and apologised to her (like you do!)... lol.

I would now like to pass it on to:

Michele

Rosie

Gisela

Kim

Sara

I have only tagged 5 people as this tag has done it's rounds. Looking forward to seeing your photos girls.

Louise (Crafty Lou) told me about the new Sketch and Stash challenge so I thought I would have a go. Love the fact that it's fortnightly too. Anyway, here is my entry and I have used my new stash of copic markers to colour the image. I purchased them from Gina K.

Friday Sketchers and Penny Black

Hi everyone, I am combining the Friday Sketchers with the Penny Black 'Lets Get Dotty' Saturday challenge today so here is my entry.

I also thought I would share with you a card I made recently. I was asked by my friend Stacy to make a card for friends of hers who have just had identical baby boys. The romper suit and cap stamp is one I purchased many years ago when Pulling on the Glitz was at their old premises. It's by Stampendous and is one of my favourites to use for baby cards.

Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for looking.
