Let it snow let it snow let it snow…. that’s easy to say when it was 80 outside yesterday… but snow is the theme of the Penny Black Saturday challenge.. and i couldn’t find my penny black winter stamps today…. maybe i need to clean mu stamp room?

The frog is Penny black, the snowglobe ,flakes , and ‘joy’ are Stampin up. The background paper is from a stack.. i like snow cards better than snow.

i added a ribbon to it for mojo monday… is it better?

frog and triangles

Its Saturday so I’m up early doing a penny black Saturday challenge. since I’m tired of Halloween themes so I’m back to frogs. the theme is triangles or zigzag…. think I incorporated lots of those. the cute balloon frog, of course , is penny black chalked for color with and added pink ribbon, then used cuttlebug for the diamond background and spellbinder nesties to cut the frog pic. happy Halloween eve.

Two weeks ago I won a penny black set at the PB Saturday challenge and now I’m using it.

The set is called spooky with lots of fun Halloween picks and sentiments and the challenge was to use two pb images so here’s the bat and witch cat and sentiment..yes as usual the oval cut with a spellbinder oval and a little ink added to show of the embossed edge. The template is from everybody art challenge shown below. cute cute cute!

pb not a square

Although the theme for penny black this morning was not a square, this card is sort of square but i used a spellbinder nestability to cut so I guess it fits the category. The butterfly is Penny black the flowers and sentiment are stampin up and used a sponge to frame the edges. Can’t decide if its too plain.
