PBSC June - Birthdays & Blog Hop!



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


Thank you to all of you who entered our 'Masculine' challenge last month...we had so many lovely entries...we hope that you'll play along with us again this 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

#5 - Amy Marshall



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

We have a very exciting challenge for you this month! We are celebrating our 8th birthday, so the theme of this month's challenge is of course:

'Birthdays'

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 1st July.

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


Prize - $20 voucher!

But, that's not all!

We are celebrating our 8th birthday in style with a fun blog hop! As you hop around the DT blogs, you will find some extra little prizes hidden along the way! To be in with a chance of winning one of those, please leave a comment on the relevant DT post...but don't forget to enter our challenge on here too!


There's a blog hop prize on this blog too...we have some sheets of Penny Black Stickeroos for one lucky blog hopper...just leave us a comment on this post to be in with a chance of winning!

So, now it's time for some inspiration. We are very excited to be joined by a guest designer this month...Jacky (Paddington Fan)

Here's Jacky's adorable card: 



And from the PBSC design team:

Debby


So now it's over to you - we look forward to seeing your creations!
 If you'd like to be considered for a guest designer spot for a future challenge, please add 'GDT' after your name on the link-up.

Have a wonderful month!

We shall announce our chosen guest designer for July and the design team's favourite projects from last month's challenge when we come back with some more inspiration for this challenge on Saturday 18th June.



Hugs from the PBSC Design Team xx
