Penny Black Saturday Challenge 62

This weeks challenge is to use the colours:

BLUE.....TAN & CREAM

I decided to alter the front of a jotter notebook (was a Tescos Jotter Pad)- 2 work colleagues have birthdays next week - I wanted to give them something homemade! So, here's 1 present! You cant see it very well but it says "Wishes" at the top! Must improve my photography skills!

Papers used - Nitwit Collections - Winter Wishes
Stamp - from "Bubbly"
Letters - from Pink Petticoat, Tiny Typed Alphas
Ribbon - in my left-overs stash ( I am trying to use up all my off-cuts - impossible - its huge - cant throw anything away!)

Bye for now!

Catching up........

Why is when you come back from holiday there is sooooo much to do?

After having a restful and very relaxing week off I come back to chaos at work and home?
At last life seems to be gaining momentum again and have finally had time to do what I love the most and have combined two challenges - Sketch Saturday and Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

Both are to incorporate red, white and blue with both challenges being posted on the 4Th July!
Out with my favourite papers again and off we go!

This is the sketch from Sketch Saturday

Heres my card:


Stamp used - Purrfect day, Penny Black
