Congratulations! Email Kath and she will organise your prize for you. And don't forget to snag the winners blinkie from the sidebar for your blog.

So, onto this weeks challenge. As it's the first Saturday of the month we have our regular...

Case-It Challenge

And this month it is our Jenny's turn to provide one of her cards for us to case....

 

Use Jenny's card as inspiration, it could be the design, the colour, the layout, anything at all, just have fun!

The only rule we have is that you must use a Penny Black image, large sentiment or stickeroo as the main focus of your card. Then leave your name and a direct link to your card with Inlinkz. If you don't have a blog then email your entry to Beth, Kath or Liz and we will pop it on the blog for you and you will be entered into the prize draw.

To celebrate our 200th challenge we have two cool prizes.
