Morning Folks!
It's a very happy post from me today and not just because it is Saturday!
I am very pleased to announce that I have joined the design team over at Penny Black Saturday Challenges - the perfect place for a PB addict like me and perhaps an excuse to add to my collection, not that I need much excuse!
Love my fab new badge:
The new challenge is just starting over on the main blog, as usual ANYTHING PENNY BLACK GOES
The optional 'Extra' challenge this time is to
USE SOME SCRAPS
Nice and easy, I reckon! I don't think there are any card makers that don't have a pile of scraps and offcuts that they can't bear to throw away!
Here's my card, apologies for the poor picture quality but it was really dark and gloomy when I took these photos before popping the card in the post. The stamp is a new one from the 'Man's Best Friend' set which I got for Christmas from my sister.
The scraps making up the background are a real mixture of DCWV, Dovecraft, First Edition and Crate Paper. They are all edged with Versamark chalk ink which I find helps to cover up any small gaps when sticking the squares together. The ribbon is also a scrap, there wasn't quite enough to wrap across the whole front so I cut it in half and lined it up, covering the gap with the image. Frugal or what??!

As usual I used promarkers to colour the dog and finished with a Stampin' Up sentiment.
