Penny Black 57 ~ Swirls & Sketch Saturday 59

Morning everyone and a happy Saturday to you all... wow I can't believe where this week has gone.. but so glad its the weekend. Well is time for another Penny Black Saturday Challenge, and thanks to everyone who entered last week.. from those of you I managed to visit (as I still had limited internet last week) you all created some fabulous work again.

I'm please to tell you I finally have my new wireless router set up at home now.. managed to set it up last night so Im looking forward to being able to visit you all again... as Ive been a very bad blogger these past couple of weeks.

So onto this weeks challenge:
This can be stamping...embossing or die cuts....get your thinking caps on and we look forward to seeing what you create
As always you can make a card..altered art...bag...notebook...box etc the only rule being that you use at least one Penny Black image or sentiment.
So I decide to create a sentiment card this week and started with these gorgeous papers from Papermania ~ Blue Vintage Floral.... They do look more fabulous in daylight but I just couldn't get a decent picture this morning.. will try again later.

My swirls are on the paper and I also cut 4 swirls with a puchie ~ Flourish Swirls and glued 2 together to create a larger swirl and finished it with a Pearl...

We have another fabulous prize for you this week kindly donated by the lovely Jacqui at Simply Create ~ They are a fabulous craft store situated in the small town of Alford in the heart of rural Aberdeenshire....too far for many of you ... and me included but our Kath lives nearby....so if your in the neighbourhood .... why not pop by, but I have been warned... you'll need a big wallet as there's too much temptation with all their fabulous goodies.

Look forward to seeing your fabulous creations.
