PBSC August - Anything Goes...Optional 'Make the Sentiment the Focus'

Welcome to a brand new Penny Black Saturday Challenge!

And I'm also giving another shoutout to the guest designer chosen from the wonderful 'GDT' entries on last month's challenge:

#18 - Nonni

Congratulations Nonni! It's not too late for you to join us, either this month or next. Please email me (Helen) so that I can give you all the information you'll need...and don't forget to grab the 'Guest Designer' badge for your blog!

***********

Ok, so on to our new challenge! I'm sure that you all know by now, but all of our challenges will now be 'Anything Goes'...with an optional theme to follow if you want a little nudge to get those creative juices flowing!

So, this month our challenge is:

'Anything Goes'
or
'Make the Sentiment the Focus'

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 4th September.

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

Prize - $20 voucher!
