Penny Black 50 ~ Buttons Galore + Sketch Saturday 52

Morning everyone, hope your all well and had a good, I'm so glad its the weekend.. and an extra day off work too ~ nothing better..... more time to relax and maybe a little crafting too.

Firstly I want to say a massive apology to everyone as I set the date wrong when scheduling this post and it went out too early ~ I was up till the late Wednesday night/Thursday morning finishing it as I knew I wouldn't have much time to do it on Thurs/Fri evening... and I think with feelin rather sleepy I set the date wrong... ooppsss .... I corrected it but it had already been out a few hours so I apologise to all my fellow DT girls on PB & SS and to Jo & Kath (so sorry)

Well its time for another Penny Black Saturday Challenge and we have a fun one for you this week... Thanks to everyone who joined us last week and all your gorgoeus Recipe creations.... I apologise I didn't get round to you this week... was out gallivanting Thurs & Friday night, so no time to blog.... a first for me in a while out 2 nights in a row... so I'm scheduling my post on Wednesday night ~ and can you believe I manage to make my card in time..

Anyway onto this weeks challenge:

Now we want you to get creative with those buttons... so get you thinking caps on... and I look forward to seeing your fabulous creations
Now you may need some Sun Glasses for this one.....

Thought I'd try something a little different this week and use some of these gorgeous buttons I brought in a massive bag from my local craft shop over a year ago.... I knew they'd come in handy one day.

We have another fabulous prize this week:


We hope you'll join in the fun with us this week and don't forget to pop over and check out the fabulous inspiration by the very talented Design Team

Well there were a lot of decisions this week which image to use on my card as I ordered some new stamps last week by The Greeting Farm and also received my new WOJ Summer Kit..... but I just had to use this little cutie 'Fairy Chloe'... I brought her with a voucher that my good friend Mariska sent me for my birthday ~ thanks hun xxx


Sorry for the bad picture, haven't had a chance to take a good picture in the daylight... but will try again and repost later. Isn't she just the cutiest.... I've used my favourite BG ~ Bittersweet papers and added a couple of Poppicraft flowers and spacers.

Have a fabulous weekend everyone and will catch up with you soon.
