Penny Black Saturday Challenge...Week 106

Hi everyone and welcome to Penny Black Saturday

 and before we do anything else....I have to hold my hands up...grovel and apologise for not making any mention on last week's post of the prize on offer..what a numptie...blame it on a senior moment...why didn't someone e-mail me but looks like I am not the only numptie....none of the girls on the team noticed either...don't feel so bad now. 

So the winner of last week's challenge chosen at random is......

JULES
(Always With a Heart)
and here is Jules' fabulous card
Jules always includes a heart somewhere on her cards....can you spot it

Congratulations Jules if you e-mail me (kath) I will pass your details onto

who will get in touch with you about using your

$20 voucher to spend online at

Time to move on to this week's challenge

TRAVEL/HOLIDAYS

we know that now summer has arrived (wish someone would tell the weather)....it's time to think of taking time off work to head off and find some sun or perhaps just a break away to recharge the old batteries...so we would love you to share your take on this week's challenge.

As always it is entirely up to you what you create...a card...altered art...scrapbook layout etc...the only RULE being that you use at least
ONE PENNY BLACK IMAGE...LARGE SENTIMENT OR STICKEROO

All you need to do to enter is leave your name and a link to your entry with Mr Linky so we can come visit you and if you don't have a blog...just e-mail your entry to me (kath) and I will be only too happy to pop it on the blog for you and you will qualify for the prize draw.

And before I forget.....the prize this week for one lucky winner

is from our brand new sponsors

the lovely Alison & Jayne from

BUTTERFLY KISSES

Penny Black..."Baby Hammock"

We are so happy and very honoured to have Butterfly Kisses on board as regular sponsors....I'm sure you are all familiar with Butterfly Kisses if you attend any of the big craft shows around the country....but they now have a website selling our beloved Penny Blacks and other stamp sets....the website is still a work in progress but there will be more and more stamps added as time goes on and if there is any particular stamp that you want....Alison and Jayne will be able to get it for you.

And last but not least.....once again the fabulous Penny Black Saturday girls have come up with some gorgeous inspiration for you all

My name is Julia Guainiere and I run Simply Stamps.  I started the business in 1997.  At that time I was a teacher.  My daughter had just been born and I wanted to be able to work from home.  For a time I did some home tutoring.  I had a selection of used rubber stamps which I no longer used so I decided to advertise them for sale in Crafts Beautiful.  I got such a good response to the advert that I began to buy stamps in from various companies and advertise them by sending out a monthly catalogue featuring all the stamps for sale that month.  Thirteen years later I still run the 'Simply Stamps Friends Club' and have a database of customers, some of whom date back to the beginning.  Obviously the trend now is to buy on-line which when I started did not exist.  So I started www.stampersupermarket.co.uk.  

Once again the very talented girls on the Design Team have worked their special magic and come up with gorgeous cards for your inspiration
