Happy 3rd Birthday Penny Black Saturday

A very good Saturday morning to you. It's celebration time as today is the 3rd birthday of

PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE

To celebrate we are having a Challenge and a Blog Hop

Our theme this week is PESKY CRITTERS


We have something a little different for you today we are having not only a challenge but also a  Blog Hop with a little twist... the challenge prizes are HIDDEN amongst the DT members' blogs! and the prizes are delish!! When you have completed your challenge entry following our Pesky Critters theme and added it to Mr Linky on the PBSC blog, you will need to hop around all my fellow teamies blogs and leave a comment on each one ... we will keep it secret all week which blog is hiding which prize, and when it gets to next weekend we will reveal the prize locations and winners! 

It doesn't matter what order you complete the blog hop, however, YOU MUST ENTER THE CHALLENGE TO BE IN WITH A CHANCE TO WIN ANY OF THE PRIZES.

here is a list of all the DT members to help you ...

 Liz

Good Luck everyone!!

Here is what I have made for you this week with our Pesky Critters theme.


I've not made a small card for a while and I love this size of card A6 and I have made a corner bookmark to go with the card however I decided to use a different image.

 

I have used Papermania papers and i added a white border punched using Stampin Ups eyelet border punch.

 

and here is the matching bookmark

 

I have coloured both images using Promarkers and polychromos pencils
I scored lines on the cardstock using my Ultimate Pro from Crafter's Companion.
WEll thats it from me I hope you will join us in our birthday celebration ans I look forward to seeing your creations.

Thanks for stopping by

Hi Ali, wow I just love your card and boodmark!! This image is so cute, I do think the hedgehogs are my favourite and I just love that romantic rose paper you used. Hugs, Frea

Paula said...

Terrific - love those soft colours & interesting to see it's Polychromos & ProMarkers you've used. Those two media (or is it mediums??) seem to have a subtlety about them that I'm naturally drawn to. Love the way you've made matching items. Am badly in need of both PB & Challenge therapy so this looks a perfect start to the week.
