Penny black saturday and sketch saturday


1 card for 2 challenges this afternoon.........I have entered this card for Penny Black saturday using the sketch from sketch saturday!!!


The theme this week over at Penny Black saturday Challenge is 'something to eat' so i chose this fun pb image and coloured it with pro markers ( please bear with me with my photos as i have had to start using a new photo editing program...lol...) papers are basic grey and the stitching has been drawn on using my letraset fine liner .....sentiment is also penny black

I'll be back soon with TYI (sorry Kath didn't quite manage it this week Lol!!)

Wow!! I love blogland..........

Thank you guys!!!!

I found the perfect header and background at hippo scraps i have put a link in my side bar please go and check it out there is some totally scrummy stuff there!............




Can anyone point me in the right direction????

I have been blog hopping a lot recently and I am seeing lots of fabulous spring blog makeovers...beautiful,beautiful blogs!!
then I head home to mine and although I love it its a little dark and wintery so i would love to change it for something a little more 'spring like' with a brown, mint and pink theme (and butterflies..of course lol!!) so I maybe wouldn't have to change my header (as this was one I bought as I am much too rubbish to make my own... hmmm! maybe I should try that again this aft) so if you know of any free sites apart from 'the cutest blog on the block' as i have scoured their files lol I would be grate ful if you would give me a nudge in the right direction......
lots of love hugs'n' stuff
