The SHAPE of things to come! Penny Black Sketch #8

The latest Sketch #8 from Jill over at PB&J is spectacular - aren't they ALL?  


As is usual, Jill shares 3 ways to use her Sketch but all of them
starts with a shaped die-cut - lucky me! I had just the shape she used!
Mine is from PTI called Love to Layer: Torn Edges.

My latest shopping spree included an adorable image from 
Mo Manning called Gift of Love from 2012!!  What I love most about
Penny Black's images is that they are totally timeless!

I couldn't wait to bring her out to play - I always follow the wonderful
images that PB gives us on their packaging but picked my colors from my
own collection of Distress inks:


Okay.  I can't wait another moment:



Isn't she just lovely?  I made sure to make her little friend a Bluebird!


This is a slapstick/cling red rubber stamp I picked up over at 1-2-3 Stamp... since it's new to me, I'm going to send it over to my friends at Penny Black Saturday Challenge

Would you believe another order [this time, directly from Penny Black] just arrived?  OH, the crafty fun that awaits me!

  2. Another great card from PB & J, Michele. That girl is adorable and did I tell you I have bluebirds now? I wouldn't have believed they stuck around for the winter but I have had up to 8 at my worm feeder.

  11. Michele, she's so pretty and sweet and of course you had to give her a little bluebird! I love what you've done with the sketch. I haven't watched this video yet, but I love the peek-a-boo corner with the sheet music which is perfect, suggesting the bird singing to her. PB oldies never lose their appeal!
