Penny Black Saturday Challenge...Week 166

Hi everyone

and welcome to Penny Black Saturday!

Before we get onto this weeks business we have some sad news.

Our talented Penny Blacker Ali is leaving the team. We will miss her gorgeous creations but wish her well in all future crafty adventures.

A huge Penny Black thank you to everyone who joined in last weeks"shabby chic"challenge. There was a great deal of "chicness" in all your cards but alas there can be only one winner and that winner, chosen at random, is.....
Lyn

And here is Lyn's bee-utiful card. Full of shabby chicness!
Congratulations, please email Kath who will arrange delivery of your prize.

This week the challenge is.....

Nat's Sketch

as always it is up to you what you create....the only RULE being that you use at least ONE PENNY BLACK IMAGE...which must be the focal point of your entry or a LARGE SENTIMENT or STICKEROO

there are still some folks who are not playing by the rules...we are what it says on the tin...a challenge blog for Penny Black products and we can only allow entries with Penny Black images to qualify for the prize draw...so if you upload a card with an image from another stamp company as the main focal point with a small Penny Black sentiment...it will be removed...

all you need to do to enter is leave your name and a direct link to your entry with Mr Linky so that we can come visit you and if you don't have a blog....e-mail your entry to Kath and it will be popped on the blog for you...you will qualify for the prize draw.

This weeks prize is 4 rolls of ribbon of your choice from the fabby selection at
Fantastic Ribbons.


Here is what the team were inspired to make following Nat's sketch.
We hope they inspire you to join in the fun this week.
