PBSC January - Anything Goes!

Happy New Year!
Welcome to a brand new Penny Black Saturday Challenge!

You may have noticed that we look a little bit different this morning...we're having a little 'shake up', so to celebrate we've had a mini makeover!

I'll get on to the changes in a moment, but first, I wanted to say thank you to those of you who joined in with our 'Christmas/Holidays' themed challenge last month!

Now it's time to announce the lucky winner (chosen at random) of the prize from our generous sponsor:

$20 Gift Voucher from 1-2-3 Stitch

#25 - sharon h

Congratulations Sharon! Please email me (Helen) to claim your prize...and don't forget to grab the winner's badge from the sidebar.

So, what's new?

Starting this month, we shall be posting twice a month! We shall also be choosing guest designers to join us for future challenges, and each DT member will be picking their favourite project to highlight!

On the first Saturday of the month there'll be a new challenge theme, with the announcement of the random winner of the previous challenge as before...but we'll be back again on the third Saturday of the month with more inspiration from the design team, we'll also be announcing the chosen guest designer and design team favourites!

I've created a page with all the information and our challenge rules in one handy place for you to refer  back to...simply click the tab at the top of the page.

You may also have noticed that there are some new badges in our sidebar...please feel free to grab one of these for your blogs:

 

(There'll be a special prize for one of you that does!)

To break us all in nice and gently, the theme of our challenge this month is:

'Anything Goes'

As always the usual RULES apply, please make sure that the MAIN FOCUS OF YOUR PROJECT is one of the following: PENNY BLACK IMAGE, PENNY BLACK LARGE SENTIMENT, PENNY BLACK  DIE OR PENNY BLACK STICKEROO. 

New work only please and link back to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge in your blog post. You may enter our challenge as many times as you like, and there is no limit on how many challenges you may combine with ours.

All you need to do to enter is leave your name with a direct link to your entry (not just your blog, as this makes it easier for the DT to find your entry & comment) with Inlinkz so we can come and visit you. If you'd like to be considered for a Guest Designer spot on a future challenge, please add 'GDT' after your name on the link-up.

You can still play along if you don't have a blog, simply e-mail your entry to me (address in the sidebar) and I'll link it up for you so that you will be entered in the prize draw.

Entries not following these rules will not be eligible for the prize draw.

The challenge will close at 8pm (BST) on Friday 5th February.

The prize for this challenge is provided by our generous sponsor:

Prize - $20 voucher!

and, for someone featuring one of our new badges on their blog (and obviously entering the challenge too!)...a couple of sheets of Penny Black Stickeroos!

So, now it's time for some inspiration from our design team:
