Second installment of Penny Black's Round II

Another day of pleasure with the newest additions to my Penny Black collection - this time from their second round of Christmas sets!

You'll see a bit of background stamping using those favored sets from The Greetery and Wplus9 - both have a postal flair but only the Pretty Postmarks from TG are still available.  You'll also see the PB Music Background - fitting for my husband who is very musically talented.  I've also incorporated that much loved PB Ornate Frame - such a pretty place to perch these darling characters from PB Cuddle Up!

Okay enough chatting...


Here, I used the leftover in the middle to create a winter sky and 
snowy path to their sweet little mailbox!


I had TWO of these gold-foiled Betterpress sentiments in my stash... I wish
I had one that said 'seasons TWEETINGS'... here's why...


We spend a fair amount of time greeting our feathered friends to our backyard -
this one will be tucked away for Tom at Christmas!
Did you notice that I trimmed that center leftover into a hill of snow?
I love the music peeking out from behind this frame!


I'm soon going to reach my deadline for delivering these cards to the Seniors - I better get a few more made!  I added ONE MORE set to my stash - see you soon!

These are just as sweet as they can be! Your background stamping and that pretty frame go perfectly with your new images. I might have to add that last cute pair to my stash, gosh are they ever adorable. Tom is going to love that card, Michele!

Absolutely precious twice! Your background stamping and the scenes you created in the gorgeous frame -- love! The little holly tree and bird are one of those adorable extras. The music and postage backgrounds are subtle and perfect, adding so much more mood to the scenes. Just so adorable, Michele!

Cozy is the word these bring to my mind, even though they're outside. Adorable cards with lots of texture and interest to them. Hallmark has nothing on you, Michele! 💕
